Rose Namajunas says Pat Barry is not to blame for Trevor Wittman’s absence in her corner. Namajunas (11-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) fell short in her flyweight debut when she lost a unanimous decision to Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 226 co-headliner at Accor Arena in Paris. A notable absence in her corner was Wittman, but Namajunas says that was her choice – not her fiancé Barry’s. “Everybody wants to sh*t on Pat and just makes assumptions because that’s the way things are no matter what,” Namajunas said in an Instagram video . “People are just going to assume that he’s the reason why (Wittman) wasn’t in my corner. It has nothing to do with Pat.
