The city of Paris saw a startling outcome as home girl Manon Fiorot left the former strawweight champ Rose Namajunas in the dust in the octagon. Considered the favorite, Namajunas couldn’t stand up to the expectations and lost by a unanimous decision. Furthermore, she became a hot topic among fans due to her broken pinky finger.

Amidst all this, her coach, Pat Barry, also came into the limelight because of his strict gesture concerning her broken finger. He asked her to ignore the broken finger and to carry on with the bout. Now, it seems that the discussions won’t stop regarding the pain he witnessed against Fiorot, as an Instagram post yet again showcased her twisted finger.
