Rose Namajunas pondered walking away from MMA after losing her belt last May. Namajunas (11-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) lost her strawweight belt to Carla Esparza at UFC 274, in what was a dud of a title fight with little to no action. It was an uncharacteristic performance from Namajunas, who has thrilled fans in the past with knockouts of Joanna and Zhang Weili to capture gold. It’s not the first time former two-time UFC strawweight champion Namajunas has thought about hanging up her gloves , but the time off made her realize that she still has fight left in her. “I definitely thought I was done for a good amount of time,” Namajunas said on The MMA Hour
