Buffalo, Drury alum Miranda Maverick ready for 'enemy territory' in UFC 289

When Miranda Maverick's professional fighting career comes to a close — something the 25-year-old doesn't see happening for a while — she plans on moving back to her rural southwest Missouri hometown and starting a family.

Maverick already owns a plot of land in Tunas, a 50-mile trek from Springfield, where she studied and wrestled at Drury University and cut her teeth with Springfield Fight Club.

The now-married Buffalo High School graduate currently lives in Denver, Colorado, training with Elevation Fight Team while putting her Drury and Old Dominion University degrees to use as a data analyst for The Hershey Corporation.
