WATCH: Rose Namajunas’ scary dedication shines through this non-stop gym routine

Serious grind

This is a perfect, bite-sized glimpse of the sheer, hard training that goes into becoming a UFC star.

Rose Namajunas derailed the Paige VanZant hype train, last December, and was immediately thrust into the spotlight.

The 23-year-old straw-weight was flown out to Australia as part of a UFC publicity tour and fights next, on April 16, against Tecia Torres at UFC on FOX 19.

Torres handed Namajunas a defeat back in their Invicta days so she is eager to right that perceived wrong.

This fantastic clip of the American fighter undertaking a rigorous ‘push-pull’ gym routine proves she is leaving no stone unturned in her preparations for her third UFC fight.

Scary dedication.
