Former UFC women's strawweight champion Rose Namajunas of the United States has revealed that she thought about ending her career after losing to her compatriot Carla Esparza.
Yeah, I definitely thought I was done for a good amount of time,” Namajunas said on The MMA Hour. “There were a number of things, but the way I felt going into the locker room. I just didn’t feel aggressive and I don’t really want to hurt anybody. I was just like, ‘Oh, I guess I’m done.’
