Rose Namajunas was one of the major attractions on the UFC Fight 226 fight card. In the co-main event, Manon Fiorot was the opponent of the two-time strawweight champion. ‘Thug’, who has proven herself as a great fighter in the past, tried her best to dominate the French fighter who was fighting in her homeland. However, things took a different turn when Fiorot showcased a brilliant fight from her part. After the bout, ‘The Beast’ got a great chance to add a notable win to her record. After a three-round back-and-forth battle between Namajunas and Fiorot, it was the homegirl who emerged victorious as the judges scored in favor of her.

When a fighter wins by decision, most of the time there is a section of people who believe that the fighter didn’t deserve to be the victor. It is often the close nature of the bout that makes many believe so. The case was no different when Fiorot won. Even the former UFC light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill, believes that it was Namajunas who showcased a dominant fight. Let’s delve further to find out what Hill has to say about ‘Thug’s loss.

Jamahal Hill takes the side of Rose Namajunas

After the bout between Namajunas and Fiorot, Jamahal Hill took to his X handle to express his immense disappointment. He wrote, “More than 99.9% of ppl to ever exist will never be close to knowing or doing what I do in a fight!! So for mfs to get disrespectful because u think u know something from the couch is funny asf!!! Rose was rolling most of the shots and landing disrupting shots! Cut sound and watch.“
