Rose Namajunas is coming off a disappointing title loss to Carla Esparza in her last fight in May 2022, where she got criticized for being a passive champion and attempting a shallow volume of strikes. Despite this setback, “Thug Rose” is still a favorite name in BetMGM’s online sportsbook, where she spearheads the women’s division in UFC odds.
With her subpar performance 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?
When is Rose Namajunas’s Next Fight?
Rose Namajunas’ next fight is still being determined, but she has three possible opponents, Amanda Lemos, Marina Rodriguez and Xiaonan Yan, who are also in the top five rankings of the 115-pound weight class.
