Ronda Rousey Has 3 Words for Rose Namajunas After Joe Rogan Slammed Her “Stinker of All Stinkers” UFC 274 Performance

UFC 274 produced some of the greatest moments in the history of the organization that fans won’t forget. From highlight-reel KOs to dominant finishes, the event had everything. However, one match-up stood out for all the wrong reasons. The highly anticipated rematch between ‘Thug’ Rose Namajunas and Carla ‘ Cookie Monster’ Esparza took 8 years to be made, but it didn’t live up to the hype.

With less than 70 strikes thrown over the course of 5 rounds, the strawweight match-up defied all expectations. The Cookie Monster reclaimed her title but at the price of becoming the ‘worst title fight in history’. According to a report by South China Morning Post, UFC Icon Joe Rogan didn’t hold any punches as he denoted the fight to be the worst title bout.
