Rose Namajunas addresses doubters before UFC Atlanta
Namajunas is set to meet Miranda Maverick in Saturday’s co-headliner. Ahead of the fight, she took the opportunity to address fans who don’t like her move to flyweight.
Apparently, she feels a lot better than her haters think she looks. And to be honest, that’s all the matters.
“I feel great,” Namajunas told UFC.com. “Obviously, I know a lot of people and critics will be like, ‘Ah, she’s not the same at flyweight as she was at strawweight.’ Maybe the results haven’t been quite the same. I am definitely not the same. I feel like I am better in a lot of ways and I am definitely more mature and stuff like that.
“I’m just at a different place in my life, and [fighters] have put me through mental battles and struggles, [maturing me through those challenges],” Namajunas concluded. “So, as much as people care about the fighting, results, and stuff—I do too—but the spiritual strength I have in my life right now outweighs anything. I know it sounds crazy or cliché. I really do feel better, and I hope to show that in this fight.”
How do you think Rose Namajunas will look in her next flyweight fight at UFC Atlanta?
