After one hell of an intense staredown, the strawweights got going! Leg kick by Rose, who held the center and pushed the pace early. Rose charged in with a 1-2 but nothing. Nice combo by the champ…and another! Huge knockdown by Rose and she’s on her trying to move into mount, but Joanna got up and both fighters were back on their feet. Rose charged in with another but no one was home. Rose tags her with a right and another knockdown and she’s swarms her…and it’s OVER!
New UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion: Rose Namajunas!!!
