Here's the fight video of Miranda Maverick vs Dione Barbosa from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Miranda was supposed to fight Tracy Cortez. Dione was brought in when Tracy was moved to last week. Miranda is 27 years old from Missouri but she trains at Elevation Fight Team in Denver with former Bellator fighter Eliot Marshall and Justin Houghton. Her UFC record is 6-3 and she is on a two fight winning streak. Dione is 32 years old from Minas Gerais, Brazil. She trains at BH Rhinos. She was in the Contenders Series and won her UFC debut a couple of months ago. I don't think she's at Miranda's level yet so I expected Miranda to win. But I did not expect a finish. I thought Miranda won fairly easily. Round two was close but Miranda won the other two rounds. So I scored it 30-27 for Miranda. Two of the three judges scored it the same and the third scored it 29-28. The opponent change did Miranda no favors as Tracy would have been a better test for her. And that goes back to last week's lousy matchmaking. Enjoy the video!
