The thrill of victory and agony of defeat was seen after UFC Atlanta with winning and losing fighters reactions on social media.
The UFC was back in Atlanta on Saturday night with a compelling 13-fight card, topped by the long awaited return of former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
Rose Namajunas became infamous for telling the world during her UFC title runs — and more importantly, telling herself — that she’s the best. To say it is one thing, though. To do it is another.
Former champs Kamaru Usman, Rose Namajunas and Cody Garbrandt went 2-1 at UFC Atlanta, setting them down varying paths forward.
Namajunas lost a points decision to Erin Blanchfield in her last outing in November, describing it as hitting a "speed bump" and has also been beaten by title contender Manon Fiorot. The Milwaukee native, who is 13-7 overall in her MMA career, says her goal is to earn a title shot.
