Paige VanZant has sailed through her first three UFC fights, but her next opponent Rose Namajunas believes she’ll be the ‘test that everybody’s been waiting for’:
“Yup, I think she’s doing her thing, she’s doing all these interviews,” Namajunas said. “She’s here and there and she’s been able to juggle it all and constantly getting technically better as well as really not losing any of her natural aggression.”
Asked if she thought it all too much too soon for VanZant — which she herself knows a little about — Namajunas said she didn’t think so.
“Obviously not, she’d doing pretty good,” she said. “I think that she’s being brought up at the rate that she needs to be brought up, and obviously this is a jump up in competition for her coming up. So I think that’s the test that everybody’s been waiting for, and I think she’s been waiting for as well. I’m more than willing to bring it to her.”
Namajunas said she’s come a long way herself in just a year.
“Mentally, I’m just so ready. I’m more motivated than ever, and I’m really just enjoying this crazy ride.”
