Despite holding a 2-2 record since moving up to the 125-pound division, Rose Namajunas isn`t currently contemplating a return to her former strawweight weight class. Ahead of her upcoming co-main event bout against Miranda Maverick at UFC Atlanta on Saturday, Namajunas discussed the specific conditions that would make her genuinely consider moving back down to 115 pounds. She also shared her perspective on the current strawweight champion, Zhang Weili, potentially moving up to flyweight to challenge Valentina Shevchenko, and offered her expectations for the highly anticipated matchup between new champion Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes.
