SALT LAKE CITY – Miranda Maverick didn’t want to see the judges again at UFC 291, so she made sure to put Priscila Cachoeira away before the final round ended.
Maverick (12-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) scored a nasty third-round armbar of Cachoeira (12-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC) on Saturday in their women’s flyweight bout at Delta Center, capping off a dominant effort in a fight she took on relatively short notice.
After using her grappling to take the first two rounds, Maverick did more of the same in the third before transitioning into an armbar. Cachoeira tried to fight it off, but was forced to tap at the 2:11 mark of Round 3.
