Thug Rose won thanks to Uncle Pat Barry

Pats an absolute legend. Theyve alway made me feel like a sell out for actually giving a fuck about a 'celeb' couple. Deserve all the success they get. Good people.
 
I was listening to the old MMAScraps podcast back in the day and Pat said that he'd take a leg kick from anyone. He said that you could just ask for your leg kick, roll up your pant leg and let it fly.

He said he wouldn't even kick you back, he just knows he can take it.

Pat and Rose are awesome and I hope they have GREAT success.
 
compared to now...she had no standup...she relied on mostly takedowns and submissions to win fights.

Yeah, she finished her fights with submissions, not KOs, but that doesn't mean she had ZERO stand-up. Try actually watching her past fights and you'll see she not only had stand-up, but she was known for spectacularly flashy kicking (remember, she's been training that stuff since she was 5 years old). Wittman actually had to make her rein in all that flashy technique and get her to focus more on sophisticated use of the fundamentals of striking rather than throwing all that flashy stuff. Rose's striking has definitely improved a lot, but she wasn't ever without high level striking techniques. Her improvements largely came from learning to use better judgment with regard to her use of striking techniques, and developing better footwork and use of feints.

Great post and 100% spot on.
 
No gifs of Pat's emotional response after rose won? One of the best moments in mma history.
 
It's different from the pretend-MMA they usually teach women in gyms.

Goes to show you what a joke WMMA is, and any female who seriously trains it can easily take over WMMA soccer moms and pretend athletes.
Every single woman in the top 10 of their respective weight class trains as hard and as "real" as rose does.
