Rose Namajunas won’t run it back with Jessica Andrade at UFC 249, after all.
Namajunas (8-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) is out of the rematch with fellow former strawweight champion Andrade (20-7 MMA, 11-5 UFC) on April 18. The fight was expected to co-headline the April 18 card, which will reportedly take place at Tachi Palace Casino Resort in Lemoore, Calif.
