Rose Namajunas reacts to backlash following title loss to Carla Esparza at UFC 274

Rose Namajunas has gone off on those giving her flak for her performance at UFC 274.

Namajunas put the UFC Strawweight Championship on the line against Carla Esparza on May 7. The title fight served as UFC 274’s co-main event. The action was held inside the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

The bout was uneventful and the crowd let Namajunas and Esparza know about it. There wasn’t much activity in the rather bizarre fight. Ultimately, Carla Esparza won the bout via split decision to become a two-time UFC Strawweight Champion.

Rose Namajunas is aware of the backlash over her inactivity throughout the fight. She told reporters during the UFC 274 post-fight press conference that she doesn’t get any credit for her defense (h/t ESPN MMA).
