Turning in her second straight win at the flyweight limit overnight in her UFC Fight Night Denver main event, former two-time strawweight champion, Rose Namajunas has set her stall out for a title charge at 125lbs in her next outing – calling for a “dream” bout in Lithuania.
Namajunas, who entered last night’s main event fight in Colorado against short-notice replacement, Tracy Cortez, comfortably outstruck the emerging prospect over the course of five rounds, turning in a one-sided unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) victory.
Initially booked to take on the streaking Maycee Barber, former two-time champion, Namajunas had landed her first win at the flyweight limit back in March against perennial division contender, Amanda Ribas.
