It was last May that the UFC champion in straw weight (52 kilos), Rose Namajunas, went to the opponent's home ground in Rio de Janeiro and lost in brutal knockout against the feared Jessica Andrade.

Andrade was outclassed in a round and a half before throwing the champion so hard in the ground that she lost consciousness.

Namajunas has talked afterwards about how the master belt was too great a pressure for her to handle, and tonight she was back for the first time since the loss.
