The event at UFC Paris didn’t go as Rose Namajunas must have expected. Her opponent, Manon Fiorot, was seemingly able to surprise her as the decision came in favor of the French by a unanimous vote. Even more painful was the broken pinky finger that the former strawweight champion witnessed while she was fighting the latter.
However, this was not enough to pique the buzz among the fans, as her coach, Pat Barry, became a hot topic since he asked Namajunas to continue the fight even after knowing about her broken finger. And amidst all the shots and sympathies from the fans, Namajunas recently came up with an update for her broken pinky. Let’s explore her statements further.

A month or a little longer is what she is expecting as the time for her recovery. However, she revealed it all when Namajunas recently got her finger X-rayed. The 31-year-old would surely be willing to return as soon as possible, but she would also have realized that her return is not in her hands right now. Namajunas must witness a gradual process if she wants to get that finger healed perfectly.
