A biography for Rose Namajunashasn’t been written yet.
“I love to learn, and that's the really cool thing about martial arts - you're always learning new things.”
“I'm always trying to improve, and you can't ever expect anything from me. You can always just expect me to be dangerous.”
“When you want to be a fighter, you have to give it everything you got. MMA just became who I am because of the amount of work I was putting into my training. It all starts in the gym. The hours turn into days, days into weeks, and weeks into months; it's like school - the more time you spend learning, the better you'll be prepared for a test.”
“I want to encourage people to be nicer to each other, to be nicer to themselves.”
“When I force things, it just doesn't go well.”
“We need the villain sometimes. It makes for an interesting story.”
“I'm glad I went through the 'TUF' experience.”
“It's great that mixed martial arts allows people to still be in touch with their animal side and duke it out in a cage, but I think it's important: we're still nurturing beings, and we should still have compassion for each other.”
“Fighting helped me learn that I can't let my emotions take over.”
“Wrestling and kickboxing, like martial arts, combine a handful of skills. They're really an art form.”
“I thrive on chaos and difficult situations. I guess that's who I am.”
“From my perspective, if I say that I'm done, I would hope - and I trust - that my corner would throw in the towel for me.”
“I was kind of a loner growing up.”
“There's a process to everything. If you fast track or make shortcuts in any way, and you get too much of one thing, you're just out of balance.”
“I feel like we have a duty as fighters to try and be a better example.”
“I've always been like, if society's trying to push me in one direction, I always rebel against it, thinking, 'Nope, I'm going to do the opposite, something that is not expected.'”
“The learning curve, and the things that you have to adapt to on a daily basis in the UFC, is pretty crazy. It's a huge burden for anybody to have: not just the fighting itself but learning how to deal with the other responsibilities.”
“I guess I'm crazy. If everything was easy-peasy and green lights all the time, it'd be kind of boring.”
“I'm sick of all the hate and anger and stuff like that going on.”
“I feel like I can go all the way for the belt and hold it awhile.”
