Joanna cut 15 pounds in 14 hours before fighting Rose

Not sure If this is 100% accurate. But if true do you think Joanna will dominate in the rematch with a better weight cut?

"I was like 127 on the Friday and Saturday a week before the fight. We were planning to get me to 125 by Tuesday, but my weight went up on Sunday to 130 and I couldn’t drop the weight for three or four days. I did everything that I could, and it’s their mistake. I started my weight cut with the limit at 130, so it was almost impossible to make that weight."

She also cut about 10lbs of gold after fighting Rose.

I love Rose, but she better be ready for something much more difficult than last time.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

She didn't seem too fatigued when she was trying to intimidate Rose during the staredown.

I think like GSP had a off night against Serra, Joanna did against Rose. Who knows though, maybe Rose's style is just kryptonite for Joanna.

 

[AJ Garcia]

I’m surprised how much hate she gets. She acted the same way when she fought Carla and everyone loved her for it. She only acts like that for the fights and has seemed like s sweetheart outside of the cage.

On topic. I don’t know how true this is or not, but I think she takes the rematch anyways. I’ve fucked up a weight cut and had to cut 13lbs the day of the weigh in and it was completely brutal.

Edit-should clarify that I fight at 145. That’s why that 13lbs in a few hours was brutal. For s girl that fights st 115, I can only imagine how bad that sucked.

 

[Magx951]

I believe it.

Regardless of how you think the fight will go in the rematch, it was pretty obvious that Joanna wasn't looking good. She's always had a really hard time making that cut.

Cutting from 130 to 115 from Sunday is 15 pounds in 5 days, unless I'm missing something. With that said, 15 pounds in 5 days is nothing crazy to do. Many fighters cut much more than that.

Namajunas wins the re-match.

If Rose missed weight but still loses, does she keep the belt?

its because she became legitimately successful. Some people legitimately can't handle a champion that becomes successful without hating on them. For fucks sake, even guys like Demetrious Johnson and Lyoto Machida had haters.

A weight cut like that is much more taxing for someone her size.

 

[Bluntforce420]

According to ur own post, it appears she cut 15 pounds in about 5 days

Was 130 sunday and weighed in friday morning at 115

Either way, she gets finished with strikes in the 1st again

Yes I believe so.

 

[YellowBanenoo]

That's it. She is getting knocked down again.

Blaming everyone but yourself is a sign of extreme mental weakness.

JJ was never my friend.

It is more significant because of her size but still not insane over that time. I have dropped up to 12 pounds in a day before weigh ins before a fight.

My thoughts too. However that 15lbs might seem like a lot on that tiny frame.

Beat me to it

Joanna better not be putting too much stock in that weight cut being why she got pieced up by Rose or she's gonna be tapping to strikes again.
