Rose Namajunas is not backing down after receiving a ton of heat for her “better dead than red” comment regarding UFC champion Weili Zhang.
Namajunas is set to challenge Zhang for the promotions undisputed strawweight champion in the co-main event of UFC 261 on April 24 in Jacksonville.

I was just kind of reminding myself of my background and everywhere that I come from and my family and everything like that, and I kind of wanted to educate my training partner (Chico Camus) on the Lithuanian struggle and just the history of it all, so we watched ‘The Other Dream Team’ just to kind of get an overall sentiment of what we fight for. After watching that, it was just a huge reminder of like, yeah, it’s better dead than red, you know? And I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Weili is red. That’s what she represents,” said Namajunas.
full quote,, and I agree with her

Why is there media pressure?
That’s the troubling thing in this story.

Even the dumb arse media doesn’t understand Communism.... I understand that they get told what to say, now, and that nothing on their work side would change, but they have to see Venezuela, where they are eating bark, and their pets... so yeah, those at the top do well, but the rest of the Population is playing in the Hunger games, for real. That’s why they hate this chick, cause reality’s a bitch...

Venezuela is a major shithole now. Is your response due to Venezuela being a socialist shithole as opposed to a communist one (implied by the poster that you replied to)?

I'm referring to the pressure being brought on her about the statement (which I agree with)

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously, I didn’t comprehend your post very well.

Zhang is going to destroy Rose. Not because of any of this, but because she is an absolute machine in the ring.

The audacity of them to question her beliefs is unbelievable. She is the child of Lithuanian immigrants. Lithuanians suffered REAL pain at the hands of the Soviets. I’m sure her parents parents and their parents passed the stories down.
Here is a clip from Wikipedia regarding the occupation of Lithuania by the red army following WW2.
So yes… Better dead than red.

Seventy year old women and fourteen-year-old girls are being raped, even in the presence of parents. For example, in November 1944 eleven soldiers raped a Priekule County resident in the presence of her husband. In Šilute district, two soldiers, covering her head with a bag, at the doorway raped a seventy-year-old woman. On 10 December, two soldiers shot a passing elderly woman.
So yes… Better dead than red.

Just read short biography of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in Eric Metaxas' book, 7 More Men. He wrote about the atrocities of Soviet Russia, especially about his years in their prisons for having anti-communist views. When his book was finally published, it became an international bestseller and helped shape other countries' foreign policy toward the Soviet Union and in many ways paved the way for its fall.
While I was reading it, I was thinking of what is going on today in our country and the world. It was like he was writing about today's events.
