That may have been her best performance to date. Completely dominated Zombie girl. Good win for Miranda Maverick.

Fighters get the royal treatment with this few fights. When they have 15 fights they barely give them time to take off their shirt before they're hustled into the cage.

The sponsor shoutouts are edited out of their interviews on the UFC yt channel so my guess is that they dont want them to get any publicity at all but the fighters aren't bound by their contract so if you get 20k or something just for dana or sean to yell at you in dm's I say it's worth it.

Yep. UFC wont like it though. Pretty sure if a fighter found a way to monetize their farts the UFC would want a cut.
