Miranda Maverick is not fond of Liana Jojua ’s behavior during their faceoff ahead of UFC 254. After Maverick (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), a 23-year-old promotional newcomer, and Jojua (8-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) made weight for their women’s flyweight matchup, the two sides came together for the first time at the pre-event faceoff. The situation got tense, with Jojua getting right in Maverick’s face and mouthing her something before offering a handshake, which Maverick denied. Maverick took to social media afterward and explained what happened on the stage. She said Jojua threatened her life in Saturday’s fight before offering a smile, and that didn’t sit well with Maverick (via Instagram ): Face-offs are done and I weighed in at 126. Opponent made a big mistake by telling me “I will kill you” like some remake of Rocky You would think they’d learn not to threaten me
