Former UFC Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas suffered a controversial decision loss to Natalia Silva this past weekend at UFC 324.
A loss wasn’t the only thing that Namajunas suffered through at UFC 324, as she also suffered an eye injury at the event and that injury required surgery.
Namajunas posted the following video on Instagram:
Damon Martin of MMA Fighting provided the following transcript of what Namajunas said:
“I’m headed into surgery. 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.”
There is no word at this time as to how long Namajunas will be out of action for.
