Our Rose Namajunas vs Miranda Maverick Prediction
This is another classic matchup where one fighter (Namajunas) prefers the stand-up game and uses her excellent kickboxing skills to excel, while Maverick is a grappler by nature, as her eight submission wins clearly indicate.
However, Namajunas is also very good at getting herself out of wrestling scrambles, which poses a major problem for Maverick, who arguably does not have the power to knock out the former champion. Therefore, our Rose Namajunas vs Miranda Maverick prediction is Rose Namajunas wins the match.
