  • Rose Namajunas was a former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion.
  • Namajunas holds an MMA record of 12 wins and six losses.
  • Namajunas' next opponent is No. 8-ranked women's flyweight contender Amanda Ribas, as they headline a UFC Fight Night on March 23.

Rose Namajunas is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Manion Fiorot in her last fight in September 2023, where she was rudely welcomed in the 125-pound division. Despite this setback, “Thug Rose” is still a favorite name in BetMGM’s online sportsbook, where she is one of the top names in the women’s division in UFC odds.

With her disappointing result in the previous fight, will fans get back the excitement from Namajunas in her next fight? If so, when will she return inside the Octagon, and who will she face after she decides to be back in action?
