Rose Namajunas details string of horrific nightmares ahead of UFC Vegas 89 return: ‘I had to fight a dude’

Rose Namajunas says she usually visualizes her fights, and often times it happens while she is sleeping, but before her UFC Vegas 89 main event scrap against Amanda Ribas, she was plagued by nightmares.

Namajunas was looking to avoid the first three-fight losing streak of her career as she was facing Ribas in her second fight at flyweight. Although Namajunas was the betting favorite to win, but she says leading up to the fight, she had nightmares over it as she vividly saw her lose three times.

“Leading up to the fight, too, I have really vivid dreams a lot of the time,” Rose Namajunas said on The MMA Hour.
