Maverick Keeps the Tampa Win Despite Her Own Harsh Verdict

December 17, 2024 587 Views by

Miranda Maverick defeated Jamey-Lyn Horth by unanimous decision at UFC Tampa on December 14, 2024. The flyweight contest lasted three rounds at Amalie Arena, and the UFC’s official athlete history continues to record the result as a victory for Maverick.

A win followed by self-criticism

Her reaction afterward was much less celebratory than the record might suggest. Maverick criticized her own performance in post-fight interviews, describing dissatisfaction with how she had fought even though she had secured the judges’ decision.

That self-assessment concerned the quality of her work, rather than an announced reversal of the outcome. Horth remained the losing fighter in the official result, and Maverick added another decision victory to the run she had been building during 2024.

The winning stretch reaches its next test

Earlier that year, Maverick had defeated Andrea Lee and Dione Barbosa, both by unanimous decision. The Horth result extended that sequence and demonstrated continued success over the scheduled distance, even as Maverick identified areas she wanted to improve.

Her next UFC appearance came against Rose Namajunas in Atlanta on June 14, 2025. Namajunas won a unanimous decision, ending the winning stretch. Read together, the dated results show a Tampa victory followed by a separate later defeat. Maverick’s candid criticism provided the emotional story after Tampa, while the official record preserved the competitive outcome of the fight itself.
