Namajunas welcomes a top contender to the main event scene this summer.
Former UFC Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas has had no problem in the past going into enemy territory, whether that's taking on Jessica Andrade in Brazil or Manon Fiorot in France. However, it's a totally different story for Namajunas this time around as she headlines from her home state in a career-first.
Hailing from Milwaukee, but fighting out of Arvada, CO, this is Namajunas' second-straight main event. Namajunas rebounded from a two-fight skid in March, defeating Amanda Ribas over five rounds at UFC Vegas 89 to cement her place among the best at 125lbs.
