At the press conference before UFC 324, Namajunas shared her opinion on Valentina Shevchenko and Amanda Nunes. She believes that both athletes deserve recognition as the greatest fighters in history. Despite Nunes having two formal victories over Shevchenko, the second fight remains a subject of controversy, and the contributions of both champions to the development of women's MMA are comparable, Rose emphasized.
Additionally, Namajunas commented on Shevchenko's recent fight with Zhang Weili. She noted that she expected Shevchenko to win, but anticipated that the fight would be more competitive. In her opinion, Weili's team may not have considered all the nuances of adapting to the flyweight category, while Shevchenko demonstrated a high level of skill in this fight.
It is worth noting that the 33-year-old Namajunas currently holds the sixth position in the UFC women's flyweight rankings. On the night of January 24-25, she will fight Natalia Silva, who is ranked second, as part of UFC 324.
