In a women's flyweight bout on Saturday's main card, Miranda Maverick and Maycee Barber meet at UFC on ESPN 27 at the UFC's APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Below, we analyze the UFC on ESPN 27 Maverick vs. Barber odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
The prelims start at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN/ ESPN+, with the main card starting at 7 p.m. ET.
Maverick enters with victories in each of her two fights at the UFC level, and she is on a seven-bout win streak overall. At UFC 260 in her most recent showing she was able to push past Gillian Robertson by unanimous decision after dumping Liana Jojua by TKO - Doctor's Stoppage after five minutes at UFC 254.

Fight result (2-way line or money line)
MAVERICK (-150) is a moderate favorite at this price on the 2-way line as she looks to deal Barber (+125) a third consecutive setback. She has been on a roll last losing Feb. 15, 2019, in the Invicta FC 34 event against DeAnna Bennett.

Over/Under (O/U)
If you're looking to get a little more specific, playing MAVERICK ON POINTS (+115) at plus-money is a decent value. Two of her past three fights have needed the judges to get involved while six of her 13 career fights have ended up going the distance. For Barber, she has two straight losses via UD.
In addition, playing OVER 2.5 ROUNDS (-225) is a little on the expensive side, but worth a small-unit play. YES (-200): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? is also a recommended play.
