The former strawweight champion lost a closely-contested unanimous decision to Natalia Silva in a featured 125-pound bout this past Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Namajunas announced on social media Tuesday that she will be undergoing surgery as a result of multiple eye pokes she absorbed in the fight.
‘Pray for Me’
“I’m headed into surgery,” Namajunas said on Instagram. “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.”
Canicular trauma occurs when there is damage to the drainage system of the eye. The tube ensures that the eye will drain properly as it heals.
Namajunas is 3-3 since moving to flyweight from 115 pounds. During her flyweight tenure, “Thug” Rose has bested the likes of Amanda Ribas, Tracy Cortez and Miranda Maverick while coming up short against Manon Fiorot, Erin Blanchfield and Silva.
