"Rose Namajunas will be sidelined a minimum of three months after suffering an eye injury at UFC 324. The former strawweight champion lost a closely-contested unanimous decision to Natalia Silva in a featured 125-pound bout this past Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Namajunas announced on social media Tuesday that she will be undergoing surgery as a result of multiple eye pokes she absorbed in the fight."
""I'm headed into surgery," Namajunas said on Instagram. "Canalicular tube surgery. I got poked in the eye a few times in the fight. But my tube is torn so it's going to be repaired right now. I'm going to have a silicone tube in my eye. Three months, so pray for me guys. Just glad we can get it fixed.""
Rose Namajunas will be sidelined at least three months after suffering an eye injury at UFC 324. She lost a closely contested unanimous decision to Natalia Silva in a featured 125-pound bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Multiple eye pokes during the fight tore her canalicular drainage tube, necessitating canalicular tube surgery and placement of a silicone tube to ensure proper healing. Namajunas announced the procedure on social media and said recovery will require roughly three months. She is 3-3 since moving to flyweight from 115 pounds, with wins over Amanda Ribas, Tracy Cortez and Miranda Maverick and losses to Manon Fiorot, Erin Blanchfield and Silva.
