Namajunas headed to eye surgery

Former two-time UFC strawweight Rose Namajunas said she will undergo canalicular tube surgery after suffering an eye injury during her unanimous decision loss to Natalia Silva at UFC 324 on Jan. 24, 2026.

She announced the procedure on Instagram, and the repair reportedly involves placing a small silicone stent that may remain for several months, limiting her ability to train fully during recovery.

Sources indicate the healing period and related precautions could keep her out of action and complicate her short-term plans.

The timing is notable because the defeat reportedly cost Namajunas a near-term shot at the flyweight title, leaving her path in the division uncertain.
