Maverick (15-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) dropped a unanimous decision to Namajunas in Saturday's UFC on ESPN 69 co-main event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Maverick said she tore her ACL at some point in Round 2 – likely during the grappling exchanges when Namajunas (14-7 MMA, 12-6 UFC) took her down around a minute-and-a-half into the round.

Former two-time UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas barreled back into the win column on Saturday at UFC Atlanta, earning a hard-fought decision over Miranda Maverick.
