Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-07-30, pretty good finish between Rose Namajunas and Karolina Kowalkiewicz but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two (UFC Fight of the Night).The black belt in tae-kwon-do and karate Rose Namajunas entered this fight with a pro mma record of 5-2-0 (80% submission victory rate – she has never won via ko/tko) and she is ranked as the No.6 women’s strawweight in the world. She suffered two consecutive losses between 2013 and 2014, against Tecia Torres and Carla Esparza (=Esparza vs Namajunas), but then she has won three bouts taking revenge on Torres in 2016 (=Namajunas vs Torres II).
Her opponent, the undefeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz, has a perfect record of 9-0-0 (33% finishing rate) and she entered as the No.10 in the same weight class. She has also fought once in 2016 winning over Heather Clark (=Kowalkiewicz vs Clark). Namajunas vs Kowalkiewicz is on the undercard of Robbie Lawler vs Tyron Woodley – UFC 201.
