EXCITING MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to its APEX venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., April 6, 2024, with an action-packed, five-round main event featuring No. 7-seeded 185-pound contender, Brendan Allen, running it back with No. 14-ranked Chris Curtis. “Action Man” — who is filling in for the “freak” injured Marvin Vettori — scored an upset win over Allen back in 2021 (watch it). In UFC Vegas 90’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, former Featherweight hopeful, Alexander Hernandez, looks to get back on track at the expense of dangerous Octagon veteran, Damon Jackson.

Mazo may have utilized her range to land some good strikes along the way, but Maverick controlled the action from the opening bell with multiple takedowns and a strong top game. After the action trickled in the second round Maverick was able to score another takedown and quickly grabbed a hold of Mazo’s back. From there, Maverick locked in the rear-naked choke and put the finishing touches on a dominant performance.

Maverick, 24, needed this win after dropping her last two Octagon appearances to Maycee Barber and Erin Blanchfield. The former Invicta FC standout is super talented and is one of the most promising young contenders in the women’s flyweight division.
