Rose Namajunas is yet again the UFC strawweight champion as she knocked out Weili Zhang in a spectacular manner to reclaim her throne at UFC 261. The card was an absolute barn-burner with all fights of the main card getting finished. Namajunas handed Zhang only the second loss of her career.

‘Thug Rose’ caught ‘Magnum’ with a beautiful left high kick. She scored the knockdown and proceeded to finish by ground and pound. Zhang was devastated to go out like that. She will look to bounce back better than ever after the loss.

It was a picture-perfect performance from the new champion. A pro-Namajunas crowd to overwhelmed to see her reclaim her position as the top strawweight on the planet yet again.
