Miranda Maverick fought at a diminished capacity for at least a portion of her encounter with Rose Namajunas in the UFC Atlanta co-main event.
Maverick revealed that she suffered a torn ACL in the second round of the flyweight bout, which Namajunas won via unanimous decision. Despite that injury, the Elevation Fight Team representative made it a competitive fight, even threatening her opponent with an arm-triangle choke near the end of Round 2.
While Namajunas was credited with a knockdown in the third frame, Maverick claims that it was directly related to her knee.
