Reasons Why UFC Atlanta Odds Favor Rose Namajunas
Rose Namajunas is 13-7 with three losses in the last five outings. It sounds bad, but all of those losses happened by decision. Plus, she fought the who’s who of the Women’s Flyweight Division – Carla Esparza, Manon Fiorot, and Erin Blanchfield.
Her most recent win happened a year ago when we saw her do better against Tracy Cortez in a 5-round war. Rose’s wrestling skills came to light in that match – she landed five TDs, her highest number since the fight with Paige VanZant in 2015.
Rose’s wrestling skills have improved over the years, but boxing remains her forte. She lost the striking battle with Erin Blanchfield, but that’s understandable given that Erin is 5th in the division when it comes to the average number of significant strikes landed per minute with 5.24. In comparison, Rose’s average is 3.71, while her next opponent is averaging 3.39.
Can Miranda Maverick Upset the Odds on June 24?
Miranda Maverick is 15-5, with no losses inside the distance. She’s a well-rounded fighter whose strongest weapon is grappling, the evidence being that she’s got 7 wins by submission in her portfolio.
However, she hasn’t fought against too many elite opponents so far. She did fight against Blanchfield and Mayce Barber a few years ago but got beaten up in both of those fights.
When it comes to her wins, we saw her beat Priscila Cachoeira, Andrea Lee, Dione Barbosa, and a few other somewhat mediocre opponents. But she’s never defeated someone who’s at Rose’s level.
Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick Prediction
Rose Namajunas is a much, much better fighter than Miranda Maverick. She had her ups and downs over the years, but we think that she belongs among the best. In fact, we think that if she wins this fight, the next stop will be a title eliminator fight.
That said, we think she’ll win the UFC Atlanta fight, possibly even by a KO/TKO – which would be Miranda’s first loss by this method.
Pick: Rose Namajunas
