Combat Profile

Rose Namajunas, known as "Thug Rose," brings a unique karate-based striking style honed at Elevation Fight Team to the Women's Flyweight division. She is a former two-time Strawweight Champion famous for her highlight-reel spinning backfist knockout of Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Her movement is fluid and elusive, allowing her to strike angles that confuse opponents. Namajunas combines technical precision on the feet with underrated grappling defense, making her a versatile threat.

Tactical Advantage

She thrives against aggressive strikers who struggle to cut off the cage, utilizing her lateral movement to land counters. Namajunas exploits opponents with low defensive awareness by utilizing her diverse kicking arsenal and spinning attacks. While she prefers striking, her takedown defense allows her to keep the fight where she holds a significant technical advantage. She struggles slightly against high-volume pressure fighters who can corner her, but her fight IQ usually keeps her out of danger.
