Rose Namajunas vs. Tecia Torres Full Fight Video Highlights
Rose Namajunas was on the rampage for revenge (and possibly a women’s 115-pound title shot) when she met Tecia Torres in the co-main event of tonight’s (Sat., April 16, 2016) UFC on FOX 19 from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
‘The Tiny Tornado’ had already handed Namajunas a decision loss in Invicta FC when ‘Thug’ was a much younger woman, and this time the Grudge Training Center contender was ready to come out on top.
In what turned out to be an impressively hard-fought bout, Namajunas outlasted Torres with an effective mix of striking and takedowns despite getting rocked by a big two-punch combo in the first round. It arguably could have gone either way, but Namajunas took home the close unanimous decision with a late takedown.
Rapidly ascending the women’s strawweight divisional ladder with three straight big wins, there’s not much to suggest ‘Thug’ Rose won’t be in the next women’s strawweight title affair after champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha finally settle their long-held feud at the culmination of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 23 in July.
