If Rose Namajunas was to tie Joanna's title defense record

[VIPERdude]

Since ROSE NAMAJUNAS spoiled the party for Joanna Yungjaychek when trying to tie Ronda's 6 defense record.

My question is when Rose successfully defends against Joanna "The boogerwoman"
-What do you see as the best path in opponents she can take in tying Joanna?

The only easy path that I see is the following:
#1 defense JJ
#2 Rose vs Tecia Torres 3
#3 Rose vs Carla Esparza 2
#4 Rose vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz 2
#5 Rose vs Felice Herrig


I would have made Claudia a contender but she is taking time off from the sport.

Andrade is a beast, and def dont want Rose to fight her, can only hope Tecia Torres can find a way to win or she may be #2 for Thug Rose.

She probably won't because its WMMA.. its unpredictable, she may just lose the rematch, or one of the girls who beat her in the past might beat her again, that happens a lot when one fighter just seems to have the other fighter's number even though MMA math suggests otherwise.

Easiest path?? ..dont want her to fight andrade so avoid her??

Wtf is this? WWE storyboarding?.. she should fight whoever the number one contender is and if shes as good as everyone keeps pushing she is then she should fight only the best.. whats the point of being champ if your protected?.. thats weak..just like this thread

So you want to find the easiest possible title defenses for Rose. I don't know what is worse all the ducking fighters do these days or the fans that actually encourage fighters to do it (especially when its rose who isnt a duck).

No actually I do know. The fans who want to see their favourites protected are the worst.

Heres a radical idea lets give the champ the hardest fights possible

Male MMA is just as unpredictable as Women's MMA.

Fixed

Only like 5 modern male UFC champions have 5 or more defenses.

For me, the biggest fight they could make is Rose vs Datsik. It would be hilarious to see the media footage and countdown/embedded stuff with Datsik included. Would for sure watch that.
Then if Rose loses, no big deal he is much bigger. But if she wins she is an instant legend and could beat Arlovski by MMAth. If you doubt Rose could do it, think about this: Ronda was favored to beat Mayweather and half of the 135lb male divison. She was confident she could beat Cain under the right circumstances... so only a sexist bigot would doubt Rose coming of two victories against JJ against a mentally unstable journeyman.
They would probably have to go back to holding the event at some Indian reservation but they could still draw a great crowd, plus PPV, advertisement etc is what really brings in the money right?

Yeah I didn't get that post either.I find wmma to be more predictable.Oddly the HW thing is a myth too..Out of over 30,000 picks on tapology HW is my highest % correct weight class along with every other member with tons of picks I looked at.HW can end in one shot but skill wise it's easiest to guage much like wmma.

Lol@rose beating claudia or that other brazilian(forgot her name), Rose is a fraud and Joanna will beat her to a pulp in april.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

She won't because JJ rode the Honda Rousey wave where an influx of new fighters signed up and got to fight them.

Majority of them don't even follow WMMA so they have no clue who is good.

Well, I think Rose pretty much auto-loses to Andrade, Gadhela, or Suarez. She's a coin toss vs. Joanna, Carla, Cavillo, Torres or Karolina. (She'd beat down Herrig, though). And, I don't see any path to 6 consecutive victories that doesn't go through at least half of those fighters. So, it's extremely unlikely, like 1000 to 1. But, who knows? The UFC`s match-matching is often suspect and perplexing. Maybe she could avoid her destroyers and get some good match-ups.

Esparza and the loser of KK\Herrig aren't getting title shots.

WTF makes her a fraud? Please do explain.

WTF makes her a fraud? Please do explain.

She isn't champ material and is barely top is what i mean by fraud, just like when Bisping won the title, everyone knew he wasn't the best in his weight class.

Rose isn't a duck? Dodged every fighter ranked above her (aside from the KK loss) and got a title shot.
