Although many consider Amanda nunes the greatest of all time in the UFC, Rose namajunas does not share this opinion. The American will step into the octagon UFC Atlanta to face Miranda maverick in the flyweight division (up to 56,7 kg). The first woman to win a strawweight title (up to 52,1 kg) in the Ultimate believes that there is a bigger name than the Brazilian in the organization's women's MMA.

“Valentina was phenomenal (in UFC 315). She showed why she is the best. Obviously we know that Amanda nunes has that title, but it's just my personal opinion: she (Valentina) is my favorite. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for her," Namajunas said in an interview with 'MMA Junkie'.

'Thug Rose' seeks recovery this Saturday (14). Since landing in the flyweight division, the fighter has experienced ups and downs. She won two of her first four fights in the category. When she put her name in a position to fight for the title, she lost to Erin Blanchfield, in November 2024. To resume a path of achievements, Namajunas has the challenge of defending her seventh position in the ranking against a training partner: Miranda maverick.

Inactive since June 2023, Amanda nunes said goodbye to the sport after a dominant victory over Irene aldana, in which he successfully defended the belt.
