I am undecided Namajunas has the ability she wants to essentially compete at flyweight. Ribas simply strolling by the whole lot, and he or she’s not likely a flyweight both.

Nonetheless undecided what to think about Rose at 125. She seems to be significantly slower and nowhere close to as sharp as 115.
