LAS VEGAS – Miranda Maverick defeated Dione Barbosa on Saturday night at UFC on ESPN 60. Maverick (14-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) was dominant all around for 15 minutes to claim a unanimous decision from Barbosa (7-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) by scores of 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27. Although Barbosa wasn’t the ranked women’s flyweight opponent that Maverick hoped for and should’ve faced originally (Tracy Cortez) , she was happy with her performance and hopes it sent a message. “Man, I hope I proved something with it,” Maverick, who won her third straight fight, said afterward.
