Rose Namajunas looks for redemption at UFC 251.
The former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion was on top of the world when she beat Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC 217. The 28-year-old confirmed her place as the top strawweight fighter when she beat the former champion again at UFC 223. However, Namajunas' title reign quickly came to an end when she met Jessica Andrade at UFC 237.
During her time away from the octagon, the landscape has changed as Andrade would end up losing the belt to Zhang Weili several months later at UFC Fight Night 157. Now, both women are looking to getting back into the title hunt; however, in order to get one step closer to Zhang Weili, they must cross paths with one another once again.
Despite her loss to Andrade, Namajunas has managed to win three out of her last four fights. As for Andrade, the 28-year-old has been victorious in four of her last five fights. Who will get back into the win column at UFC 251? We’ll surely find out this weekend.
In the meantime, check out the training regime of both strawweights as they head into one the most important fights of their careers:
