I have always been a Joanna fan however at some point during the build-up to the Rose fight I started going off her a bit. It reminded me of the time when the Rousey train was full to the neck and I was on board but then when I seen how Rousey reacted at the weigh-in towards Holly thats when I went off Rousey.
I thought she was playing way too much into the Boogie Woman persona in the lead up to the fight and that she was just a bad version of McGregor. She was always a little bit of a "bully" during the build up of fights and a sweety after but this time it just didn't feel right with me...she was trying too hard and it was so obvious.
I recently re-watched to Rose fight and one thing stuck out to me that Joanna after the winner was announced she did not even congratulate Rose on the victory and almost every fighter does.
The fact that she says she did not tap (not that it matters but It did look like it), the fact that she said she had a bad weight cut, the fact that she said Rose was a "fluke" plus a load of other excuses.
I feel that Joanna may be going down the same road that Ronda travelled. After being a huge fan of Joanna for so long I feel a little crappy that I have this negative reaction and part of me wants her to be more like her "old" self in the rematch but I really think she might be even more arrogant and even more egotistical. Also part of me wants Rose to beat Joanna again because Rose is just such a great person as well as 100% Real.
I dunno just rambling. Anyone else have mixed feelings about this rematch?
