Rose Namajunas stepped up big in her rematch with Jessica Andrade. In July 2020 at UFC 251 , Namajunas avenged arguably her biggest career defeat but when she put on a technical performance in a fun Fight of the Night bout against Andrade. Namajunas was viciously knocked out by the Brazilian to lose her UFC women’s strawweight title the year prior, but out-struck Andrade over the course of 15 minutes and survived some tough moments to win a split decision. You can watch Namajunas’ win over Andrade in their rematch in the video above. Namajunas (11-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) returns to the cage Saturday in the main event of UFC on ESPN 53 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. She takes on Amanda Ribas (12-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in a five-round, women’s flyweight bout
