UFC women’s flyweight Miranda Maverick issued a statement following her controversial split decision loss to Maycee Barber at UFC Vegas 32.<\/p>\n

Maverick came up on the short end of the scorecards against Barber in a main card fight that took place Saturday at the UFC Apex<\/a>. It appeared as though Maverick had done enough to win the first two rounds of the fight and take home a 29-28 decision on the judges’ scorecards, but somehow two of the three judges gave the fight to Barber. It’s worth noting that at MMADecisions.com<\/a>, literally, every media member who was tracked scored the fight for Maverick. In the comments section, fans are calling it a robbery.<\/p>\n

Taking to her social media<\/a> following the fight, Maverick issued a statement after losing for the first time in the Octagon. In the statement, Maverick took responsibility for the loss and promised to come back better than ever, while also congratulating her opponent Barber and then taking a shot at the judges for their questionable scorecards for the fight.<\/p>\n
