Rose Namajunas (5-2) besegrade Tecia Torres (7-1) via enhälligt domslut på UFC Fight Night 89 och berättar om vad hennes planer är efter matchen.
Namajunas berättar att hennes tränings camp inför den här matchen var hennes tuffaste någonsin och det fick henne att tro på sig själv ännu mer.
“This was definitely the toughest training camp of my life up to this point,” berättade Namajunas för MMAjunkie. “There were so many crazy things that led up to this fight, but everything at the very end would just work itself out. It just kept letting me know to just have faith and believe in myself. There were so many times I wanted to quit and not even try.”
Joanna Jedrzejczyk (11-0) kommer att försvara sitt stråviktsbälte mot Claudia Gadelha (13-1) på TUF-23 finalen. Namajunas har tre raka vinster och är nog inte så långt ifrån att få en titelchans, men Namajunas förklarar att hon inte har bråttom med att slåss om titeln.
“Right now I’m in no rush,” sa Namajunas. “Initially, I thought I’d be ready to jump back in there. But I think that a few months off would do me some good mentally, along with physically – I’ve got a few (injuries) here and there going into this fight. Mentally, mostly I need to find the fun in life again. This last (fight) turned into a bit of a job leading up to it. …
“Right now, I want a break to enjoy the fight world as a fan just for a second. But I’ll be fired up to get back in there and improve on my things in my fighting eventually, but right now it’s about having fun just for a little bit.”
