‘Thug Rose’ is known for her fierce striking inside the Octagon, but now she could show that she is more than just a fighter with this news.
Ex-UFC champion Rose Namajunas was a fan of Victoria’s Secret fashion show
The former two-time strawweight queen spoke to Rolling Stone, where she reflected on this new partnership and the significance of Victoria’s Secret in her life growing up.
After claiming she was a fan of the show, Namajunas said, “I remember watching the Angels and the fashion shows — those days were some of the most exciting times in the Nineties.”

“It is pretty amazing that now I am one of those women I used to look up to,” the ex-UFC champion expressed.
The women’s martial artist, who shook MMA fans including UFC commentator Joe Rogan when she shaved her head ahead of her UFC fights and never grew them back, also eluded that her featuring in ‘Undefinable’ ad campaign ‘dispels the myth that women look better with tons of makeup or a bunch of fake stuff.’
That said, the MMA pro offered she has no time to pay attention to people’s perceptions of female MMA fighters.
The month of October has brought some good news for the female UFC roster as previously another active fighter landed a deal with Playboy Centerfold.
