Rose Namajunas: Trevor Wittman not in my corner at UFC Paris ‘has nothing to do with Pat’ Barry

BAD MMA News — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 22:04:44 +0000

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.

Although Namajunas (11-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) 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, she had no issues standing toe-to-toe with the French fighter. Namajunas dislocated her pinky finger in the first round, but battled through it for the three rounds. The two-time strawweight champion said she’s unsure what’s next, but insists flyweight is her new home. “What’s next? Good question.

PARIS – Jacqueline Cavalcanti got fouled in a way never seen before in the UFC. The women’s bantamweight fighter got accidentally eye poked in both her eyes by her opponent Zarah Fairn in the opening bout of UFC Fight Night 226 , which took place this Saturday. The odd thing is that it wasn’t two separate eye pokes. Instead, it was one motion with two fingers poking both eyes separately. “Actually it was two fingers, not one, so one in each eye,” Cavalcanti said when asked about the accidental eye poke at the UFC Fight Night 226 post-fight press conference

Ciryl Gane answered some important questions about his career on Saturday when he defeated Serghei Spivac in the UFC Fight Night 226 main event.

He got a hometown headliner against Spivac (16-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) at Accor Arena in Paris, and responded in resounding fashion with a second-round TKO to get back in the win column.
