Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight contender Rose Namajunas desperately tried to stop Team Alpha Male’s Paige VanZant in the UFC Fight Night 80 main event on Thursday at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Persistence eventually paid off.
However, contrary to her walkout tune -- Run the Jewels’ “Get It” -- “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 20 runner-up could struggled to get the finish she desired despite multiple tries in the third and fourth rounds. Namajunas pushed VanZant to the brink at the end of the third, where the 21-year-old escaped an airtight rear-naked choke.
