N\u00e9e le 1er juillet 1997 \u00e0 Tunas, dans le Missouri, la flyweight de l&rsquo;UFC a un CV qui d\u00e9tonne dans le vestiaire \u2014 dipl\u00f4m\u00e9e avec mention de Drury University, d\u00e9sormais en th\u00e8se \u00e0 Old Dominion University \u2014 mais c&rsquo;est surtout sa fa\u00e7on de chercher la soumission qui la rend reconnaissante \u00e0 suivre. Ceinture noire de JJB, elle finit plus souvent ses combats au sol qu&rsquo;avec les poings.<\/p>\n<h3>Du tapis de lutte au tapis de l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Maverick attrape le grappling \u00e0 16 ans et passe par l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de lutte de son lyc\u00e9e \u2014 une base qui explique pourquoi son MMA penche autant vers le sol. Pro depuis le milieu des ann\u00e9es 2010, elle d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC le 24 octobre 2020 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 254 et signe une victoire par TKO sur Liana Jojua pour son premier combat dans la grande maison. Depuis, elle s&rsquo;entra\u00eene dans le Colorado (r\u00e9gion de Denver), avec un cursus partag\u00e9 entre la cage, le coaching et ses recherches universitaires.<\/p>\n<h3>Un jeu de soumission avant tout<\/h3>\n<p>Sa carte d&rsquo;identit\u00e9 technique est limpide : la grosse majorit\u00e9 de ses victoires arrivent par soumission ou par d\u00e9cision, et une seule par KO. Traduction c\u00f4t\u00e9 tatami : Maverick ne cherche pas le knockout spectaculaire, elle cherche le dos, le bras, le cou. Quand elle am\u00e8ne un combat au sol, elle encha\u00eene les menaces \u2014 \u00e9tranglements, tentatives d&rsquo;arm-triangle, prises de dos. C&rsquo;est une grappleuse offensive avec une vraie base de lutte, pas une frappeuse qui assume le sol par d\u00e9faut.<\/p>\n<h3>Combats notables<\/h3>\n<p>Le 14 juin 2025, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Atlanta (State Farm Arena), elle affronte l&rsquo;ancienne championne Rose Namajunas en co-main event. Le combat est serr\u00e9 : Maverick passe dans le dos de Namajunas, tente un arm-triangle, met l&rsquo;ex-reine en danger. Mais Namajunas place un takedown au 2e round, un knockdown au 3e, et l&#8217;emporte par d\u00e9cision unanime (30-27, 29-28, 29-28). Un revers, mais face \u00e0 une adversaire de ce calibre, la prestation a confirm\u00e9 son niveau dans le top 10. Avant \u00e7a, elle avait encha\u00een\u00e9 les victoires aux points, notamment contre Andrea Lee (17 f\u00e9vrier 2024) et Jamey-Lyn Horth (14 d\u00e9cembre 2024).<\/p>\n<h3>O\u00f9 elle en est<\/h3>\n<p>Au printemps 2026, Miranda Maverick pointe au 9e rang de la division poids mouche femmes de l&rsquo;UFC. Une combattante install\u00e9e dans le top 10, dangereuse d\u00e8s que le combat touche le sol, et qui m\u00e8ne sa carri\u00e8re sportive en parall\u00e8le d&rsquo;un doctorat \u2014 pas le profil le plus courant du circuit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Miranda_Maverick\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/miranda-maverick\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/2025\/06\/15\/rose-namajunas-survives-scare-to-drop-and-decision-miranda-maverick-in-ufc-atlanta-co-main-event\/\">Bloody Elbow<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miranda Maverick, poids mouche UFC class\u00e9e top 10 et doctorante en psychologie : ceinture noire de JJB, redoutable en soumission.
