UFC strawweight “Thug” Rose Namajunas has just called out “The Karate Hottie” Michelle Waterson.

“The Karate Hottie” was the main event of UFC on Fox 22 this past Saturday when she defeated Paige VanZant in the first round via a rear-naked-choke. Namajunas previously faced VanZant last year also defeating the Dancing with the Stars contestant via a rear-naked-choke, in the fifth round.

The “thug” now has her sights set on a fight with Waterson, on social media she wrote ““First off I want to congratulate @karatehottiemma on a SPECTACULAR performance! You showed tremendous growth and hunger as a fighter/mother/wife/cool person since knowing you so hats off to you! Secondly I want to acknowledge the messages I’ve been getting from my fans that this is the next matchup y’all want to see! Me too! Make it happen @danawhite @ufc”



24 year old Namajunas (5-3-0) is coming off a split decision loss to former title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz. A win over Waterson would certainly put her back into contention. On the other hand the more experienced Michelle Waterson (14-4-0) has won 8 of her last 9 fights, seven of which are finishes. She is undefeated since coming to the UFC.

Namajunas isn’t the only one after a fight with Waterson right now. Brazil’s Jessica Andrade previously called her out, saying she wants to fight her as soon as December 30th in less than 2 weeks time.
