Video: Rose Namajunas on her win over Paige Van Zant: It just all came together

“A couple of times I was frustrated, but I kept hearing my corner reaffirming my thoughts. The finish will come, don’t force it. When I force things, it just doesn’t go well. I also knew beforehand she was going to be flexible, and I knew there were going to be submissions there, but might not be finished right away. So everything I knew beforehand after studying her and knowing what I’m good at, it just all came together. ”
