5 Defining Moments: Rose Namajunas
Rose Namajunas long ago secured her spot in history as a two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder at 115 pounds. Her focus now centers on building out her legacy.
The 32-year-old Milwaukee native will put Erin Blanchfield to the test in their UFC Fight Night 246 women’s flyweight co-main event on Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Namajunas steps back into view on the strength of back-to-back victories. She last suited up on July 13, when she outpointed Tracy Cortez to a five-round unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 59. Namajunas held the women’s strawweight championship from Nov. 4, 2017 to May 11, 2019 and again from April 24, 2021 to May 7, 2022.
