Maycee Barber welcomes ‘Great matchup’ against Rose Namajunas in UFC return: ‘I’d be fighting backwards’

Maycee Barber has responded to the callout from former champion Rose Namajunas following ‘Thug’ beating Amanda Ribas in the main event of UFC Vegas 89.

Namajunas was set for her second fight at flyweight after losing a decision to Manon Fiorot back in September. Namajunas ended up winning a decision and after the win, she called for a bout with Barber.

After the callout, Maycee Barber responded to Rose Namaunas, and ‘The Future’ says it would be a good stylistic matchup for her, but the only downside is her fighting down in the rankings.
