Rose Namajunas has undergone eye surgery and received medical clearance to return to training three months after sustaining an eye injury in her bout with Natalia Silva at UFC 324. The former UFC strawweight champion suffered an eye poke during the fight that required surgical intervention. Namajunas, who holds a record of 14-8 overall and 12-7 in the UFC, has publicly called for stricter penalties for eye pokes, even accidental ones, arguing that such fouls can have serious long-term health consequences for fighters. She stated she is grateful the injury was not worse and is now working to regain her fitness.
