The UFC has put a great deal of resources behind making female strawweight Paige Van Zant their next mega-star. They pegged her to headline UFC Fight Night 80 on December 10th from Las Vegas and her opponent Rose Namajunas is out to show that it’s about what happens inside of the octagon, not how you look outside of it.
Rose decided to shave her head before her fight with PVZ because it was in her way during training.
This picture and quote speaks volumes. The winner of this fight is set up nicely for a title fight in 2016 and would be marketed as one of the faces of women’s MMA.
Its nice to see the Rose is staying grounded despite all of the circumstances swirling around this matchup.
