Just Revealed! “Thug” Rose Is Injured Heading Into Joanna Rematch

All is not well for Rose Namajunas ahead of this weekend’s UFC 223 title fight rematch against Joanna Jedrczjeczyk.

The UFC strawweight champion was just witnessed having an injury ahead of her rematch against the former champion.

This is an unspoken injury, only witnessed by onlookers at today’s UFC 223 pre-fight press conference.

In the video placed above, you can watch and see for yourself, as Rose engages in her staredown with her rival, a metal splint is on a finger on her left hand. It’s that same left hand she used to knockout Joanna in their first encounter.

Something to look out for on fight night.

That replay is above.

UFC 223 goes down this Saturday, live on pay-per-view. The event takes place from Brooklyn, New York’s, Barclay Center.
