The Best Pictures Of Rose Namajunas With Hair

“Thug” Rose Namajunas is best known to fans of the UFC for her shaved head and very easygoing personality. The Lithuanian-American beauty shaved her head in 2015 after claiming that it was getting in her way during training. Her exact quote on the dramatic makeover was “It’s a fight, not a beauty pageant”. Even though female MMA fighters braid their hair for professional fights, training daily can be very difficult if hair is not managed appropriately.

Fans of Rose Namajunas love her overall look, but believe that she was most beautiful when she had feminine long hair. Prior to shaving her head, Namajunas had a 3-2 record as a professional, which has now excelled to 11-4.

Perhaps the main reason why Rose Namajunas shaved her head in the first place. This photo from her own Twitter account shows that her hair was being pulled out due to wrestling practice. Rose jokingly claimed that if this continued she would become bald.
