Namajunas in line for Shevchenko title shot
Sources say a win for Rose Namajunas over Natalia Silva at UFC 324 on January 24, 2026 in Las Vegas would position her as the next challenger for the UFC flyweight title.
Namajunas is reportedly conflicted about the possibility, viewing Valentina Shevchenko as an inspiration and saying the matchup would be emotionally challenging.
The two have trained and sparsed together in the past, which adds nuance to the potential pairing.
Silva arrives on a lengthy winning run and is considered a major obstacle before any title plans can move forward.
Plans are being discussed and hinge on the result at UFC 324, according to sources.
