Canadian flyweight Jamey-Lyn Horth waited 11 months for her last UFC fight. This time it's taken just six weeks to get back into the cage.
Maverick has won three straight since a unanimous decision loss to Canadian Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC 289 in Vancouver in June 2023. The 27-year-old is 7-3-0 in the UFC and has figured in the rankings in the past."Me and my team like a challenge and I love competition," she added."I think it's a smart move on my end. The stress isn't really on me. I'm taking a short-notice fight. I'm game and I'm excited.
Horth has been training with Vancouver-based Loopy Godinez, ranked 11th among UFC strawweights. The two fought twice as amateurs, with Horth winning both bouts, and are now friends. The Canadian moved up a weight class in her April 2023 UFC debut against American bantamweight Hailey Cowan, who added to the degree of difficulty by missing weight at 137.5 pounds. Despite that, Horth won a unanimous decision.
