Maverick still is relatively young and has had just two fights in the UFC, so she knows that whenever she talks about fighting for the title, it can seem bad.
Even after her first victory, Maverick had talked about how she would eventually like to fight for the title, and she received some flack for that.
“Everybody gives everyone a problem for saying that, you know, especially with it being my second fight in the UFC, but I don’t plan on fighting her my next fight, that’s not what I mean. I mean within two years I wanna be there, I Wanna work my way up and if that means going through one sister first I will.”
