Rose Namajunas' bid to become a two -way champion took place in UFC Atlanta.
The former two-time stream weight holder has settled over the past decade as one of the greatest female hunters in MMA history.
'Thug', however, has found that it has been more difficult to find since he made the leap to fly in 2023.
Rose Namajunas was 2-2 on 125 pounds before he fought against her former training partner Miranda Maverick, who threatened to attempt and surpassed and surpassed on Saturday evening.

Rose Namjunas vs Miranda Maverick Result
Round one of the UFC Atlanta Co-Main event was nip-and-tuck and completely disputed at the feet.
It became interesting when Namajunas landed a trip in the second stanza.
The Lithuanian American dominated at the top before he threatened to close the show with a coded choke entry, who brought her to some problems.
Maverick returned and locked a poor triangle stick that was even closer to finishing the fight – but Namajunas managed to jump out and survive to hear the bell.
Namajunas restored control when she scored a heavy knockdown at the start of round three, so she could return to the position that could dominate her most of the round two.
In the end, all jury members scored the fight 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 in favor of Namajunas.
