Rose Namajunas Addresses Flyweight Status, Potential Strawweight Return, and Key Matchups

Rose Namajunas currently holds a 2-2 record in the flyweight division (125 pounds) since moving up from strawweight. Despite these mixed results, she is not presently considering a return to her former weight class (115 pounds).

Ahead of her upcoming co-main event fight against Miranda Maverick this Saturday at UFC Atlanta, Namajunas elaborated on what specific circumstances might lead her to consider moving back down to 115 pounds. She also offered her perspective on the possibility of the current strawweight champion, Zhang Weili, challenging Valentina Shevchenko at flyweight, and shared her anticipation for the highly discussed bout between the newly crowned champion Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes.
