In April 2017 Thug Rose faced Michelle Waterson. In the second round Namajunas dropped “Karate Hottie” with a head kick, landed some heavy ground and pound and choked her out. The clean finish was her fifth win by submission and really showed the world how well-rounded her game is.
The victory also gave Namajunas a title shot just six months later.
