Miranda Maverick was training for Tracy Cortez who like Dione is a solid grappler. But unlike Cortez, Dione has pretty bad takedown defense. i think Miranda comes forward, pressures with the striking and ultimately gets the takedowns. She can stay safe in any BJJ scrambles and as long as she doesn't tie up too long on the feet, shouldn't be taken down either. Miranda is the pick and i am definitely exploring some bets with her.

Miranda Maverick

Miranda Maverick is a pressure fighter with solid takedowns and activity. She's very strong and uses her strength well. She averages more than 2 takedowns per fight but when she can't get takedowns she does struggle. She does have a positive striking differential of about 4-3 but he goal is typically to work forward and get a takedown. She is coming off the decision win over a flat Andrea Lee.

Dione Barbosa

Diona Barbosa is a solid grappler who will throw tight strikes and look to get it to the ground. She is a Judoka so instead of shooting shots up the middle, she will look to tie up or clinch then work in trips or throws. Her striking isn't great but she is fast and it is enough to setup the clinch. She is coming off a controversial win over Ernesta Carrot Cake where many people think she lost.
