Former two-time UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas barreled back into the win column on Saturday at UFC Atlanta, earning a hard-fought decision over Miranda Maverick.
Miranda Maverick ‘s four-fight winning streak came to a disappointing end in a loss to former UFC champion Rose Namajunas in the UFC Atlanta co-main event. In a back-and-forth battle through three rounds, Namajunas defeated Maverick by unanimous decision to continue her ascent up the flyweight rankings.
Cody Garbrandt fell short at UFC Atlanta, and he has spoken out following the loss. “No Love” shared the Octagon with Raoni Barcelos on the main card of UFC Atlanta. Garbrandt was hoping to rebound from a submission loss to Deiveson Figueiredo. While Garbrandt went the distance this time, he was unable to defeat Barcelos.
There was little question that the kick was illegal, but in the immediate aftermath it appeared that Bellato looked to referee Kevin MacDonald to see if he was going to call the foul – then hit the canvas and appeared to be knocked out, only to jolt back to consciousness, at which point he lightly tried to wrestle MacDonald.
