Former strawweight queen Rose Namajunas took another step forward in her flyweight journey at UFC on ESPN 69, earning a unanimous decision win over Miranda Maverick in the co-main event. Displaying her trademark fluid striking and improved grappling, Namajunas dropped Maverick with a clean left hook in Round 3 and controlled the final moments from top position. The judges scored it 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28, as “Thug Rose” improved to 14–7 overall and further established herself in the 125-pound title picture.
Next up for Rose Namajunas should be a top-contender clash with Jasmine Jasudavicius. Ranked #6 in the division, the surging Canadian is on a five-fight win streak and coming off a statement victory over former strawweight champion Jéssica Andrade at UFC 315. Jasudavicius submitted Andrade in the first round, notching her third submission in four fights and continuing her evolution as a well-rounded and dangerous contender.
Namajunas vs. Jasudavicius is a stylistically intriguing matchup that pits the creativity and experience of a two-time champion against the tenacity and grappling surge of a rising force in the division. With champion Alexa Grasso expected to face Manon Fiorot next, a showdown between Namajunas and Jasudavicius would serve as a legitimate title eliminator, with the winner earning a crack at UFC gold. It’s a high-stakes, fan-friendly pairing that makes perfect sense for late 2025.
