Rose Namajunas wants “the scariest person” for her first title defense.<\/p>\n

“Thug Rose” shocked the mixed martials arts world at November’s UFC 217 event in New York when she scored a brutal first-round knockout victory over Joanna Jedrzejczyk, <\/a>thus claiming the UFC’s coveted strawweight championship.<\/p>\n

Namajunas recently discussed her dominant victory over Jedrzejczyk and had nothing but compliments for the former strawweight queen.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoanna, she was like the most dominant female, she was on her way to becoming bigger than Ronda (Rousey) in terms of her accomplishments.\u201d<\/em> Namajunas told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cSo to me, it\u2019s just a testament to how great she was and the fact that I beat her, that\u2019s just awesome.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Rose continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that people were necessarily sleeping on me, I just think that she was definitely very impressive.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rose Namajunas is now focused on making her first title defense, and is looking at three different women as being her next potential opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, who is the scariest person that I could fight, I think that would be cool. To me, what sticks out as of right now is Jessica Andrade, but at the same time a rematch with Joanna would be great too. I don\u2019t know. The three options right now would be Joanna, or the winner of Jessica Andrade vs. Tecia Torres.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jessica Andrade and Tecia Torres <\/a>will square off at next month’s UFC on FOX event in Orland, Florida. The winner of that contest will likely solidify their status as the strawweight divisions top contender.<\/p>\n
