Rose Namajunas has her next opponent in mind.

Namajunas posted on Instagram that she would like to face off against recent UFC on FOX 22 winner Michelle Waterson. Like Waterson, Namajunas holds a submission win over Paige VanZant.

Namajunas and Waterson both competed under the Invicta FC banner before the UFC created the strawweight division. Namajunas competed on The Ultimate Fighter, finishing as a runner-up, while Waterson waited to sign with the promotion after her run as Invicta FC atomweight champion ended.

The 24-year-old Namajunas (5-3) was defeated by Karolina Kowalkiewicz via split decision in a title-eliminator this past July, snapping her three-fight win streak. Waterson (14-4), who turns 31 in January, has won each of her two UFC appearances.
