PARIS – Rose Namajunas’s most recent showing in the octagon was one that left fans talking, and not in a good way.
Back at UFC 274 in May 2022, Namajunas (11-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) attempted to defend her strawweight title against Carla Esparza. However, despite entering as a favorite, she wasn’t able to get her hand raised and was forced to hand over the belt. But what was more surprising than the result, was the performance itself, as little happened in the bout.
That left many fans and pundits criticizing Namajunas, and she thinks they’re well in their right to do so.
