Rose Namajunas is at peace after losing the UFC strawweight championship to Carla Esparza at UFC 274 this past May.
For the second time in her professional career, ‘Thug’ Rose fell short against the ‘Cookie Monster’. This time, losing a split decision in what was considered one of the worst fights of the year. A five round title fight that (generously) saw a total of 67 strikes landed by both women over the duration.
Though adamant she should have won because she ‘stuck with the strategy,’ Namajunas has admitted that she could have done ‘a little bit more’ in the bout overall.
