By the Numbers: UFC on ESPN 53

Rose Namajunas can call herself a winner in two different Ultimate Fighting Championship weight classes.

The former strawweight queen picked up her first 125-pound triumph in the UFC on ESPN 53 headliner, as she outworked Amanda Ribas for a unanimous decision triumph on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. After falling to Manon Fiorot in her flyweight debut, it was a much-needed bounce-back effort for “Thug” Rose, who figures to have no shortage of interested potential opponents in the months to come.
