News Maycee Barber vs Miranda Maverick Announced!!!

This is a caricature of her in the cage post-fight against Modafferi where she LOST badly and grabbed the mic to do a self-promotion as the loser. Didn't even let Modafferi speak first, she just grabbed the mic. All about her, every time. You don't get to talk on the mic as the loser, ESPECIALLY not before the winner has had her post-fight interview.

That's a start.

I had a feeling they were gonna do this. This looks bad for Maycee Barber. Don’t see how she wins this one. She might end up on the bad side of a three fight skid.

When a fight with Barber in announced, the air in front of her is already trembling.
In her last outing, the air took a savage beating.
 
They're both aggressive and will have full training camps. Grasso frustrated Barber via movement and distance control. Versus Maverick, Barber shouldn't have as much trouble finding her range. I like Maverick's grit and confidence. She stays prepared & thus far has met every challenge. Maycee hits hard and is no slouch on the ground. A question is whether she'll come out strong & stay focused throughout. I'd say it's a pick 'em or slight edge to Barber.
 
Miranda is fuckin jacked



Love her forthright talking and great positive attitude. Haven't seen that interview before.
She's absolutely a smart woman, knows what she's good at, knows what she wants to continue to work on.
I think she's also doing a Ph.D or studying for Masters or something ???

PHD in Industrial Psychology; She also teaches classes a at her college

Pretty sure when you're in a PHD program you're required to teach classes. Not 100% on that, I could be wrong. My buddy that just got into a PHD program said he'll be teaching while doing his own course work. Either way pretty fucking impressive for her to be doing all of that while competing in the UFC.
 
She is only 22. How can you say she is a bust? That’s just ridiculous
I would say its early to say she's a bust. But she is def not what the UFC was hoping for. Going into the Roxy fight she was 3-0 on UFC cards, with a win on the contender series. All 3 fights were on the main cards, they were doing full 45-50min one on one interviews with her about her road to the title and her becoming the youngest UFC champion. They were hoping they had their next star and now she's got a huge challenge on her hands to avoid a 3 fight losing streak.
 
Winnable fight for Barber, but why risk putting a hyped young fighter on a possible 3 fight losing streak? Give her an easy matchup or two (and there are many in this division) and then make this fight. People have opinions on her one way or another, and know the name, which makes her more valuable than the vast majority of the women's roster. She's clearly not as good as she was promoted to be (both by herself and the UFC), and is going to need more time to fix her many weaknesses. Why not give her the time to do so?
 
They must've given up on trying to make Barber a thing.

Maverick is their friend now
 
Miranda looking cute here.

i mean Ronda had a lousy attitude too and look what she accomplished.
Ronda was also a gold medalist in judo and entered at the inception of the sport.

Maycee is a prospect that is trying to wade through a much deeper division with no other combat sports experience.

Theu are completely different scenarios
 
Can’t believe they are going to have such young prospects (both under 24) face each other so early in their careers. Especially throwing Maycee to the sharks like this.
Ufc match making.. and they wonder why they have no stars
