Rose Namajunas Doesn’t Believe She Deserves The Next Title Shot With Blanchfield Win

Rose Namajunas looks to make it three in a row this weekend when she returns in the co-main event of the UFC’s visit to Edmonton. The #5-ranked contender will take on one of the flyweight division’s most exciting talents in Erin Blanchfield who holds the #3-spot. With Blanchfield looking to rebound from the first loss […]

With Blanchfield looking to rebound from the first loss of her UFC career last time out and Namajunas coming off of wins over Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez, there are big stakes here but not for anything that “Thug” Rose believes will happen in the near future.

On her flyweight debut in September last year, the former two-time strawweight champion was beaten by Manon Fiorot who then went on to dominate Blanchfield this past March. Despite her seven-fight win streak against some of the top names in the division, the French fighter is still yet to receive her title shot.

That’s due to the trilogy of fights between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko that recently wrapped up at UFC 306 where Shevchenko regained the top spot. In a recent interview with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri, Namajunas said that even if she beats Blanchfield in impressive fashion this Saturday, she feels it would be wrong for her to get a shot at the belt before Fiorot.

“I would still feel even with a good performance, well we could cross that bridge when get to it, but I feel like I’d still feel bad for some reason if I jumped her but you know, that’s just kind of, I don’t know. I am a person of integrity so I do feel like she deserves to be next in line. She’s been kind of waiting and although I do know that like I don’t know where her head is at, if she’s like saying no to offers than that’s not a thing to do either. Like if the UFC wants her to fight again then she should do that but ultimately, the UFC is kind of the judge of that and it’s up to me to have a really good performance as well to make that case.”

Age Gap Controversy: Rose Namajunas and Pat Barry’s Polarizing Relationship and Sean Strickland’s Accusations

Former UFC champion Rose Namajunas has had a controversial relationship with her coach Pat Barry. The MMA community has taken notice and was even called out by Sean Strickland. Ahead of her fight this weekend, let’s take a look at this.

Age Issues: Rose Namajunas and Pat Barry

Rose Namajunas, a 32-year-old two-time UFC women’s strawweight champion, is engaged to Pat Barry, a 45-year-old former UFC heavyweight fighter. Their relationship has been a source of controversy in the MMA community due to their 13-year age gap and the fact that they allegedly met when Namajunas was only 14 or 15 years old.

The controversy has been fueled by accusations of grooming, with UFC middleweight challenger Sean Strickland being particularly vocal in his criticism. According to fellow fighter Chris Curtis, Strickland confronted Namajunas and Barry about their relationship during a bus ride to a UFC event. Curtis recounted that Strickland persistently questioned the couple about Namajunas’ age when they first met, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone on the bus.

‘Action Man’ Chris Curtis explained:

“It was my debut fight, we were on the bus and Rose and Pat are there. And Sean just immediately starts going in and it just doesn’t stop. And we’re on the way to the venue and I’m like, ‘Bro, I’m in my own head, they are in their own head.’ She lost that fight and that’s the one they blamed you for, right?… In all fairness I’m with Rose on this one. We are on our way to the f***ing thing and Sean is like, ‘So how old was she?’”

In response to the controversy, Pat Barry has attempted to clarify the situation. In an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Barry explained that there had been a misunderstanding about when he and Rose Namajunas actually met. He stated that Namajunas had initially joined Roufusport gym at age 14, left for a few years, and then returned to pursue her MMA career. Barry and Namajunas began dating when she was 18 and him 31.

According to Pat Barry:

“This whole Sean Strickland thing that is all over the place everywhere. Years ago, Rose did an interview and said ‘I joined Rufussport when I was 14 years ago, and then I left Rufussport for a few years. Then I came back to Rufussport, to pursue my MMA career, and that’s where I met my fiancee Pat Barry.’ When the guy wrote the interview up, he wrote ‘Rose Namajunas joined Rufussport when she was 14 years old where she met her fiance Pat Barry, when she was 14 years old.’”

Mutual friend Matt Mitrione attempted to explain it was okay as they met earlier but didn’t begin dating until she was 18, which matches accusations, from Sean Strickland, of grooming.

Did Pat Barry give Rose Namajunas a Black Eye?

Ex-UFC fighter Pat Barry often finds himself being accused of abusing his girlfriend, Rose Namajunas, while out and about. Of course, it doesn’t help that the former two-time titleholder often plays into it when concerned strangers attempt to broach the subject.

Barry and Namajunas, who have been a couple since the late 2000s, recently made an appearance together on the JAXXON podcast with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. Just as they were about to wrap up the interview, Jackson asked whether or not Barry had ever been accused of hitting Namajunas after she picked up bruises from training and fighting.

“I’ve got one last question because I’ve heard stories about this before,” Jackson said. “You being a fighter and a woman, have you ever had swelling or black eyes after a fight and people think he did it.”

Namajunas was quick to acknowledge that people have made that assumption. “Of course, all the time,” she replied with a smile.

Barry also chimed in, revealing that ‘Thug’ does little to dissuade people from thinking the worst.

“This has happened so much where we’ll go places and she’ll have a black eye or a bruise on her cheek or something and the waiter or waitresses will be like, ‘Oh no, what happened to your face,’ and Rose will reply, ‘He hit me.’ They’ll look at me and I’ll say, ‘Well, she didn’t block it.’

“But when it’s the other way around and I’ve got the black eye and we go somewhere and they say, ‘What happened’ and I say she hit me, she starts getting free dessert.

Barry went on to talk about how random people will regularly stop Namajunas to make sure she’s okay while the two of them are out for a run. Check out the full clip below:

Pat Barry and Rose namajunas’ relationship has been under scrutiny for years

The relationship between Barry and Namajunas has seen its fair share of scrutiny over the years, most of it revolving around the significant age gap between the two. Barry, 45, is 13 years older than Namajunas. While there’s little controversy to kick up regarding a 45-year-old man dating a 32-year-old woman, many have accused Barry of grooming Namajunas since her teenage years.

Earlier this year, outspoken middleweight star Sean Strickland perpetuated those claims when he dubbed Barry, ‘Pat the predator’ in response to a fan’s post on X.

Namajunas will be back in action on Saturday, November 2 when the UFC heads back to Edmonton for a Fight Night card in The Great White North. Thug’ will headline the event opposite Erin Blanchfield in a flyweight bout that could produce the division’s next title challenger.
