Rose Namajunas might be my new favorite UFC star.
Namajunas defended her title this weekend at UFC 223 against Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and she looked outstanding while doing it.

I dont know what it is about Namajunas, but theres just something I cant help but love. Shes got that spirit of a warrior youre simply born with or youre not. Theres no middle ground.

I nearly died this weekend with an unknown illness that would have put most people in a casket. Despite my incredible sickness, I stayed up into the early morning hours of Sunday to watch UFC 223, and Namajunas put on a show in the octagon.
Now, she doesnt have the looks that somebody like Paige VanZant has, but shes got a fighting ability that is incredible.

Maybe its the fact were both the same age, and were both from Wisconsin. I really cant put a finger on it, but theres just something about Namajunas that makes me cheer for her no matter who she is fighting.
You can just tell shes got a serious edge to her, and I mean that in the best way possible. What type of woman would honestly look at Namajunas and think they could win? Its not going to happen.
I hope she sticks around for a very long time, and keeps cracking skulls. From one kid from Wisconsin to another, Ill be there cheering for her the whole way.
