 Show Rose Namajunas loses to Carla Esparza. (images via Twitter) Fans were not happy with Pat Barry’s involvement at UFC 274! He was cornering Rose Namajunas for her 115lbs title defence against Carla Esparza. Rose Namajunas lost her UFC Strawweight title to Carla Esparza at UFC 274. It was one of the most uneventful fights in the history of the company. Combined, they landed a grand total of 68 significant strikes in all 5 rounds. To put things into perspective, Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev landed 227 significant strikes in just 3 rounds during their bout at UFC 273. Usually, when a contest turns into such a stalemate, coaches do their best to motivate their fighters. Although coach Trevor Wittman did advise Rose to go after Esparza in the latter rounds, Pat Barry seemed content with her performance. However, the judges did not seem to have the same opinion; two of them scored the fight for Carla while one favoured Namajunas. After Rose’s loss to Esparza via split decision, the fans turned on Pat for giving the former champ wrong advice. Fan reaction to Pat Barry’s advice to Rose Namajunas at UFC 274Thug Rose is one of the most beloved fighters in the UFC. While walking out for the rematch against Esparza, Pat Barry hyped her up by calling her the best. The audience also responded to her with a huge ovation. But the mood clearly soured after the first few rounds. When the audience started booing, Pat Barry asked Rose to stick to the game plan instead of trying to turn up the tempo. But the plan backfired as the champ’s inactivity ultimately ended up costing her the belt. It led to fans lashing out at Rose’s fiance on Twitter. Here are some notable reactions:
In the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White did not sound very pleased with the fight either. White stated that he “zoned out” during the bout. He also revealed that Rose Namajunas will not get an immediate rematch either. The upcoming fight between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Weili Zhang will determine the next contender for Esparza’s title.

PHOENIX -- Rose Namajunas lost her UFC strawweight championship Saturday. Carla Esparza didn't exactly take it, though. In one of the most bizarre title fights in UFC history, Esparza (19-6) upset Namajunas (11-5) via split decision in the co-main event of UFC 274 inside Footprint Center. Two judges scored the fight for Esparza 49-46 and 48-47. A third had it for Namajunas 48-47. According to UFC Stats, Namajunas landed just 38 strikes in the five-round fight. Esparza landed 30. It was a fight in which neither woman appeared to have any confidence in her skill set. Neither was willing to take risks. Namajunas defended Esparza's takedowns but still refused to open up with her striking. Esparza marched forward at times with caution. She was mostly ineffective. "You never want to be a part of a fight like that," Esparza said. "I went out there and did my best and tried to come forward. I got the win, that's what counts." One of Namajunas' coaches, Trevor Wittman, begged her to be more active from the third round on, but her other coach and partner Pat Barry appeared to be happy with the game plan. It was obvious that all three wished to avoid Esparza's takedowns. That was a key difference when they fought the first time back in 2014, in a fight in which Esparza took Namajunas down and submitted her. Ultimately, Esparza, 34, moved to 2-0 over Namajunas -- and it's unclear whether the sport would even allow a third matchup to happen. This 115-pound contest will be remembered as one of the worst title fights in UFC history. After the first round, each fighter was credited with a total of three strikes landed, and the action never picked up. Esparza, whose wedding is scheduled in seven days, improves her win streak to six. Namajunas, 29, loses for the first time since 2019. It's the second time she has seen a title reign end.
