Do you guys think zhang would beat rose?

Rose cardio is suspect but she also isnt as tough as these girls.. she has skill though
 
Tough fight to call. Last night Rose had to deal with an unexpectedly improved version of Andrade that utilized much better movement and patience. That version of Andrade is tougher to beat than the older version that always came straight forward with reckless abandonment. That combination of Andrade's improvement and Rose looking rusty and flat made for a much closer fight that what I expected. Zhang made me a believer in her last fight. I'm 50/50 on this one.
 
Rose is fast and precise, has great foot work but Zhang is an animal.

Would be an interesting fight

Um how exactly?

Literally no one had Andrade winning that fight, except you apparently

Yes. She's slightly bigger than Andrade, and Rose would probably lose yesterday if there was another round, as she was getting slow and wobbly each time she got hit.
On the other hand, Andrade's head movement improved a lot and might be a bit better than Zhang's right now.
In the end, the decising factor should be "durability", and Rose doesn't seem as durable.

Weili isn't as imposing physically, despite being taller. Weili is just extremely well rounded. I think she beats Rose.
 
Namajunas couldn’t keep Andrade off of her for 3 rounds, and would have probably been stopped had it been a 5 round fight.

How will she be able to keep Zhang at bay for a full 25 minutes?

I'm starting to think that rose isnt actually better than joanna just a bad matchup for her. I think weili would have an easier time against rose than she did against joanna

She's definitely more skilled. Rose's problem seems to be mental and once she starts getting beat up all discipline and technique goes out the window.

Joanna has pillow fists so she never got Rose to that point. But against hard hitters like Andrade and possibly Zhang it's a problem.
 
I don't know, part of Roses issues are mental, and the last time she was in a cage with Andrade, she got KTFO. I can imagine she won't be facing that going into the cage against Zhang. I also think the game plan is different against Weili. Haven't seen her tested on the ground with someone with that good of submissions. Either way, Rose needs to put on some strength of she's going up against Weili.

How the hell did MMAMania score the fight 30-27 for Namajunas? I hope she sees this MMAMania.

I don't agree with that either. Rose clearly won the fight but I believe it was 29-28.

I wouldn't even say she's more skilled, it's just that Joanna specifically has problems with Rose's boxing and range. Against any other opponent, Joanna would do better. If Rose tried to fight Valentina, Valentina would beat her much more decisively than she did Joanna as well
