Namajunas: I’ll be a crossover star like Rousey
Rose Namajunas: “I feel like I’ve been doing such a good job at such a young age and so early on in my career, I have a lot of time to really develop myself as a person…”

Rose Namajunas has the chance to become the UFC’s first ever strawweight champion, and hopes that as champion she can become a huge cross over star like bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey:
There’s much more to Ronda Rousey than just being the UFC women’s bantamweight title. Rousey is a mainstream, crossover star.
When Rose Namajunas looks into her own personal crystal ball, she sees all the same things for herself.
“I feel like I’ve been doing such a good job at such a young age and so early on in my career, I have a lot of time to really develop myself as a person and getting more experience with it,” Namajunas said Wednesday at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale media day. “If it doesn’t happen right now, it’s definitely going to happen eventually.”
