An extended-rumored scrap between Rose Namajunas and Amanda Ribas now has a date, location, and weight class locked in.
The previous two-time strawweight champ Namajunas will stay at flyweight for this subsequent battle, which can reportedly happen on March twenty third on the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Brazilian outlet Combate confirmed the UFC’s plans for Rose’s return, and now we’re simply ready on affirmation that contracts are signed.
“She’s going to remain at flyweight,” Namajunas’ supervisor Brett Butler advised MMA Junkie Radio on Wednesday, January tenth. “You’ll see her first half of this 12 months.”
If there’s any sticking level to a deal being made, we hope it’s with the choice to have Namajunas vs. Ribas headline a UFC APEX card. Though the pandemic is nothing however an afterthought nowadays, the UFC continues to carry common occasions at their small facility in Vegas. They’ve a number of lined up for March and April, and somebody must battle in these major occasions.
However does it actually need to be a fan favourite like Rose Namajunas? A fighter whose fight sports activities profession may very well be over after any battle? Are we actually speaking about having her battle within the sterile APEX with a nobody however a handful of wealthy bozos and B-rate influencers in attendance?
That’d be an actual disgrace. Put Namajunas in entrance of an actual crowd, UFC.
