Miranda Maverick favored over Shanna Young emphatic UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs Lemos · November 2, 2022
grapplinggood wrestlinggood

The analyst calls this pick easy, saying he doesn't see Maverick losing barring a freak accident.

Maverick gives up several inches in height but makes up for it with a strong, physical style built around pinning opponents against the cage and imposing top pressure once the fight hits the floor. She's already finished this same opponent quickly in a prior meeting and is expected to be able to get the fight to the mat again given the other side's shaky takedown defense. Combined with real power in her hands, the analyst views this as a lopsided matchup in her favor.
