Miranda Maverick slid into Jamey-Lyn Horth’s DMs.
No, not like that.
Sitting on a three-fight win streak, Maverick returns to the Octagon on December 14 as a part of the UFC’s ultimate occasion of 2024 in Tampa, Florida. Initially, she was set to sq. off with Tracy Cortez, however after Cortez bowed out of the bout as a result of damage, Horth agreed to step in.
Throughout a latest interview with Fanatics View, Horth revealed that whereas she was digging via her mound of message requests on-line, she got here throughout one which was from Maverick.
“She reached out to me through my DMs in the folder you don’t usually see,” Horth stated. “I’m going via there typically and discover good, unusual, or humorous messages. I used to be stunned to see her message. She was very well mannered and thanked me for taking the battle, saying I appeared like a cool individual. I replied, ‘Yeah, let’s go, let’s placed on a present.’
“I was glad she didn’t trash talk since I’m not much of a trash talker, though I’m always up for exchanging some words. I’m excited to face her and meet the person behind the message.”

After successful 5 straight on the regional scene, Horth stored her unbeaten streak alive in her UFC debut final 12 months, scoring a unanimous choice victory over Hailey Cowan. Eight months later, she suffered her first skilled loss, developing on the mistaken aspect of a cut up choice in opposition to Veronica Hardy.
She’s since bounced again with a split-decision win in opposition to Ivana Petrović in November. Little greater than a month later, she’ll attempt to bag the most important win of her profession in opposition to a 20-fight veteran who has already shared the Octagon with a slew of noteworthy names like Gillian Robertson, Maycee Barber, Erin Blanchfield, and Jasmine Jasudavicius.
