Hospitalized, fight called off
Young will no longer face Miranda Maverick at UFC 278 on Saturday after she was hospitalized due to illness, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Young was hospitalized just hours before weigh-ins after she reportedly started experiencing illness-like symptoms, presumably related to her weight cut. She'll no longer face Maverick on Saturday and will look to get healthy before returning to the Octagon. In Young's last appearance, she defeated Gina Mazany via TKO in April.

Maverick up next
Young will take on Miranda Maverick in a flyweight fight at a UFC event on August 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Young stands four inches taller than Maverick, though the two fighters share the same reach. Maverick will likely try and take the fight to the ground to test Young's 60% takedown defense. Young won her first UFC fight in her previous match by KO/TKO and is hungry to continue her momentum against a 3-2 Maverick, who has only won one of her last three fights.

Pulls upset for first UFC win
Young defeated Gina Mazany via TKO (punches) at 3:11 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 35 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
After coming up short in each of her first two UFC bouts, this was an unexpected victory for Young and one that certainly saved her job. Entering as a +170 underdog, Shanna accomplished little in the opening frame. Yet, while Mazany's cardio appeared to dip as Round 2 began, Young picked up the pace. She ended up in a dominant position following an exchange along the fence and after several unanswered blows, referee Jason Herzog had finally seen enough. Young's next challenge will be putting forth another strong effort her next time out.

Draws Mazany for April fight
Young will take on Gina Mazany in a flyweight bout at the UFC April 30, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
