Though Namajunas doesn't have a fight currently lined up, she is keen and interested in the state of her current division. Following the announcement that champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will rematch Claudia Gadelha as part of the forthcoming Ultimate Fighter series, Namajunas has a message for the UFC brass.
"If one of them happens to pull out I'd definitely be more than willing to step in for them."
Truth be told, Namajunas believes she is already a worthy title challenger and that the only reason she is not the one facing Joanna ‘Champion' is because she did not overtly campaign for the fight after her VanZant showing.
"I think because I didn't say ‘give me the title shot right now', I think that's why they're giving the title shot to Claudia Gadelha," alleged Namajunas. "That's my belief. I don't know why they set that rematch, other than it was a really competitive fight [the first time around]."

Same thing happened in Glasgow. I got a picture with her but the guy who used my phone took a crap picture. But whatever, fact is I have made physical contact with her. When I say physical contact I mean I put my arm around her. #YouguysJelly lol

Not sure liking being on the bottom means you have a ground game...@Born On Monday might seriously try to come for you .. and he has a ground game too, pfft. #watchyoneckhomie
I think Claudia deserves it right now as the last fight was very close. I do think Rose should fight the winner, or have a number one contender shot and the winner gets to fight the winner of JJ and Claudia. Good for her for saying she would step up, glad she has the confidence. I hope she doesnt think she would roll through JJ or Claudia like she did PVZ though. Fighting a young cheerleader who is new to the sport and fighting a high class striker and champion are two differnt things.
yeah same here... Its good JJ has a rival though. Should make TUF interestingWell, it is good that there is Rose on standby in case someone has to pull out. Of course I hope that is not the case though .. I want this JJ/Claudia rematch be done already because I am tired of all the controversial talk abut the SD in the first fight.

thats good tv...Oh, it will be interesting, just hopefully not too dramatic. Claudia likes to run her mouth so ... it could get a little tense/ugly.
bottom game being tight means a lot of things on the internetDoh! Don't sleep on B.O.M, he trains UFC, bro .. I heard that his bottom game is tight, or something.

Well, JJ and Claudia was the fight that was supposed to happen since Claudia beat JAG, so Rose shouldn't have any questions as to why that match up got made. Pretty sure that Rose will be next in line any way ..

"I hope I have enough patience not to put my hands on her."
