vs Miranda Maverick emphatic UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs Lemos Full Card Preview, Prediction, & Analysis · November 2, 2022
calls the pick easy, says he does not see her losing barring a freak accident, and calls her safe to parlay with anything
He extends her a 'decent striking' read only reluctantly, calling it a stretch and saying her karate background has not shown up effectively inside the cage, crediting her mainly on a possible height/reach edge in kicking range. Her takedown defense is called not so good -- she gets taken down by most people who try. He credits her with one real underdog win, over an aging opponent he says had aged out of the division, attributing that result to her relative youth rather than to a skill edge.
