i love andrade and would love to see her champ, but if rose can keep it standing and stop that takedown it should be alright for rose, also rose is much taller and could just keep andrade at bay with striking from a distance. but andrade is a beast and absolutely demolished claudia which i was a bit surprised by, so who knows. will be a good fight, is it actually set?Rose ain't beating Andrade or Suarez, so Joanna is looking towards the new champ. Really she needs to stay at 125 though.
Joanna is being remarkably generous with the four months, UFC should strip Rose by 13th January if they apply the same timescale as when they stripped Nicco Montano.
say what now?Could be:
Probably all the above.
- Fear of getting destroyed by Jessica Andrade
- Reluctance to defend her belt because she knows she's losing it as soon as she fights again, and she enjoys the "champion" life now that she gets invites for random events
- Some PSTD thing going on, i mean, she was afraid of getting out of her house after Conor's shenanigans
- JJ inflicted long-term damage on her in the 2nd fight, it's taking a lot of time to recover
Rose gets hit too often, doubt she can keep Andrade on the outside and outclass her like JJ did. As we saw with KK, it only takes one good shot from Andrade.i love andrade and would love to see her champ, but if rose can keep it standing and stop that takedown it should be alright for rose, also rose is much taller and could just keep andrade at bay with striking from a distance. but andrade is a beast and absolutely demolished claudia which i was a bit surprised by, so who knows. will be a good fight, is it actually set?
Why? he is correct. You can still like her, but she is in a delusional state of mind.
man i felt so bad for kk (mainly because she is just so cute! ) when andrade knocked her out, she wasnt in it right after the first strike landed!!Rose gets hit too often, doubt she can keep Andrade on the outside and outclass her like JJ did.

No, it's not set yet, Rose's still running, but not for long, she has 4 months.
She's leaving the house now, but in the months following UFC 223 she wasn't.say what now?
Yeah man, Andrade is just an awful match up for KK, you can't brawl with Andrade. Specially in the first round. You have to keep her away, to move.man i felt so bad for kk (mainly because she is just so cute! ) when andrade knocked her out, she wasnt in it right after the first strike landed!!
I'm not sold on her ability to do that though.will be exciting to see if they fight, i was imagining rose implementing the strategy joanna did when i said keeping her at bay with strikes.
Agreed, can't wait.hopefully the rose/andrade fight is set soon.
Very down to earth and grounded words of Joanna Champion if you ask me.I don't mind JJ's delusional attitude, but lets not encourage it or pretend it has any merit to it.
Joanna Champion has made public her ultimatum to her former rival Rose Namajunas. Timestamped.
As of yesterday, Rose has only 4 months to defend "her" belt, against the nº 1 contender Jessica Andrade.
In case of Rose failing to fulfill it, may it be due to fear or some bizarre PSTD excuse, she must be stripped of "her" belt and then Joanna will come back to 115 and will rematch Andrade. Dana smiled in agreement as you guys can see in the footage above.
To me, it's clear who, to this day, runs the division.
Very down to earth and grounded words of Joanna Champion if you ask me.
Please.emotional stress from the bus incident...
I understand. You also don't realize that we are speaking about the champion that built that division, that defended the belt 5 times. Dana likes her, always did. Dana nodded in agreement to JJ's ultimatum.She is in no position to set ultimatums. I haven't watched the vid though.
What's even happening with Rose?
8 months have passed and JJ is onto her 2nd fight.
