After a great performance and victory over Paige Van Zant at UFC on Fox 22 on Saturday night, Michelle Waterson moved up to #7 in the Official UFC Rankings at Strawweight and Rose Namajunas wants to be the fighter to welcome her to the upper echelons of the division.

24-year-old Namajunas (5-3), who is curently #4 in the rankings recently lost a title eliminator bout to Karolina Kowalkiewicz in the summer, took to Instagram yesterday to call out Waterson (14-4) in possibly the politest way possible as well as congratulate her on her win at the weekend.

Former Invicta Atomweight champion Waterson is 2-0 in the UFC and has recently returned from a long term spell on the sidelines after injury. Now aged 30-years-old, it could be a perfect time for her to make a run towards the title and starting with “Thug” Namajunas wouldn’t be the worst idea.
