‘Thug’ Rose is back!
The former two-time UFC strawweight champion will reportedly return to the Octagon on June 14 for a Fight Night event in Atlanta. Namajunas is expected to square off with twelfth-ranked flyweight contender Miranda Maverick.
No official announcements have been made regarding the fight, but Maverick seemingly jumped the gun by announcing the bout on social media.
“Rose has been an inspiration for so many women, especially in WMMA, and I am no exception,” Maverick wrote on Instagram. “I watched her fight as I was coming up in the sport and then I got to train with her on a regular basis.
