Rose Namajunas, a two-time strawweight champion, is determined to make her mark in the flyweight division. With a career record of 13-7, Namajunas has faced both triumphs and challenges since moving up to 125lb in 2023. Despite a 2-2 record at flyweight, she remains focused on her goal of becoming a two-division UFC champion.

Staying the Course at Flyweight Namajunas, 32, has no plans to return to strawweight unless it's for a significant fight. She believes in her ability to succeed at flyweight and is not swayed by external opinions. "I know myself and I know what I'm doing," she stated at a UFC media day. "Yeah, maybe I had some mixed results. But there are a lot of factors that go into it, that people don't know about."

Upcoming Fight Against Miranda Maverick Namajunas is set to face Miranda Maverick in Atlanta this Saturday. She views this fight as another step towards earning a title shot. Reflecting on her journey, she said, "I still feel like it's possible and it's very in reach. I was actually in this position before at 115lb where I was making a title run and I fought Karolina [Kowalkiewicz] in Atlanta many years ago."

Predictions for Shevchenko vs. Weili and Harrison vs. Nunes Namajunas also shared her thoughts on potential future matchups. She believes Valentina Shevchenko would have the upper hand against Zhang Weili, stating, "Valentina, she's my favourite. I look up to her, she's amazing. I believe she's the better martial artist and I think that would make the difference in the fight."

Regarding the highly anticipated bout between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes, Namajunas highlighted the importance of striking. "It would be interesting to see how Kayla Harrison deals with Amanda's striking. That might be the big question. Kayla, her striking is getting better and better every time she gets in there. It will be interesting if Kayla can get her hands on Amanda."

Conclusion Rose Namajunas remains a formidable force in the UFC, with her sights set on flyweight glory. Her determination and self-belief continue to drive her towards achieving her ultimate goal of becoming a two-division champion.
