Rose Namajunas has been a fan favorite and a top performer in the UFC for years. Her rise to UFC gold has been nothing short of an inspiration. The Ultimate Fighter Season 20 finalist took part in a grappling match at Fury Pro Grappling 6 against Gillian Robertson. The result of the fight isn’t what Namajunas would have wanted. The former UFC strawweight champion lost against Robertson in 65 seconds. The night was already bad for the MMA fighter as coach and husband Pat Barry also lost earlier in the card. Fans have criticized ‘Thug’ and her husband for their display of performance.
Rose Namajunas should look away from Twitter
The fans have not held back their criticism of the former UFC strawweight champ. The abysmal display saw many fans placing their opinion on the 65-second submission.

Thus, fight fans were unimpressed by Namajunas’ performance.
A night to forget for Namajunas and Barry
The fighter couple had a night to forget in Fury Pro Grappling 6. At first, Pat Barry faced a disappointing result as he was beaten in a heavyweight match against Jon Pellot. Barry and Pellot never looked close to ending the fight via submission and the match ultimately went to decision.

However, that wasn’t the case in the main event of the card. Gillian Robertson finished the job in an impressive 65 seconds against the former UFC champion. ‘Thug’ was taken to the ground in less than 30 seconds. Robertson showed her skills and set up Namajunas for a rear-naked choke.
Moreover, the pair did not wish for such an ending to the year. Fans are always relentless when their favorites don’t live up to the standards that they set. Furthermore, they even saw this result coming. What do you think about the performances and results of Fury Pro Grappling 6?ADVERTISEMENT
