Rose Namajunas has undergone eye surgery and received medical clearance to return to training, three months after suffering an eye injury at UFC 324 against Natalia Silva. The former UFC strawweight champion sustained the injury from an eye poke during the January bout. Namajunas posted an update on social media revealing that both her thumb and eye have fully recovered, though she admits she is slightly out of shape. She is calling for stricter penalties for eye pokes in MMA, suggesting fighters should be fined even for accidental infractions, citing the serious long-term health consequences such injuries can cause. Namajunas expressed gratitude that her injury was not more severe and shared post-surgery footage documenting her recovery.
