One of the former champions, Rose Namajunas, is coming back to fight in front of her home crowd this Saturday. She wants to prove herself in the flyweight division after losing her strawweight title to Carla Esparza. Despite a setback against Manon Fiorot, Namajunas secured a victory against Amanda Ribas in March. While initially scheduled to face Maycee Barber, who had to withdraw, Namajunas will now battle Tracy Cortez with short notice. A win for Cortez could be significant, as she has maintained an unbeaten streak since her professional debut.
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Matthew Wells, Nolan King, and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia delve into the details of this matchup in the video. They ponder whether the victor of the Namajunas-Cortez fight might earn a shot at the title sooner. To watch the entire episode of “Spinning Back Clique,” visit YouTube or listen to it as a podcast.
