For their most recent advertising campaign, Victoria’s Secret and UFC fighter Rose Namajunas have teamed up.
As a part of Victoria Secret’s Undefinable ad campaign, Thug Rose joined celebrities including paralympian Femita Ayanbek, country music singer Brittney Spencer, models Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber.
Each of the campaign models, according to Victoria’s Secret, not only exemplifies various definitions of beauty but also proves that “women are undefinable by anybody but themselves.”
The two-time UFC strawweight champion claims to be a longtime admirer of the clothing line and expresses her astonishment at modelling among the women she once looked up to.
I’ve been a fan of VS for as long as I can remember, Namajunas told Rolling Stone.
Those were some of the most thrilling occasions in the 1990s, in my memory, to watch the [Victoria’s Secret] Angels and the fashion show.
It is fairly incredible that, in a particular way, I am now one of the ladies I once looked up to.
Namajunas had previously worked as a model. She completely undressed for the Women’s Health Naked Issue in 2018.

Apart from her second job as a fashion model, Namajunas is one of the best female MMA fighters ever and has defeated a lengthy list of elite competitors, including Weili Zhang, Joanna J. Drzejczyk twice, Jessica Andrade, Michelle Waterson, Tecia Torres, and Paige VanZant.
The 30-year-old lost a controversial split decision to Carla Esparza earlier this year in a contest that was dubbed “The stinker of all stinkers” by UFC announcer Joe Rogan and is widely regarded as one of the worst matches ever.
Namajunas was on a roll before her lacklustre match with The Cookie Monster at UFC 274; she had previously lost to Andrade then defeated Zhang in back-to-back fights to capture the 115-pound title, which she then went on to defend.
When Esparza and Zhang square off at UFC 281 on November 13, the strawweight championship will be on the line.
At this time, it’s unknown whether Namajunas will have a shot at the winner right away or if she’ll need to defeat a strong opponent to gain another title shot.
