Rose Namajunas
Should fight: [autotag]Zhang Weili[/autotag]
Why they should fight: Namajunas’ revenge over Jessica Andrade didn’t come easy, but she got the job done with a thrilling split decision win over the woman who took the UFC strawweight title from her in May 2019.
Namajunas took a long break after that nasty slam knockout to Andrade, and even contemplated retirement during that time. She said her head is finally in a good place, though, and that helped her get through a tough fight against Andrade.

It’s evident at this point that Namajunas should be fighting for the belt next. She could’ve easily got a fight with champ Weili (21-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) without this win, but the fact she avenged her most recent loss and is now has momentum, there’s no doubt that’s the fight.
