Seems to be positive. I think a big thing to her was proving to herself that the weight cut impacted her badly. Unfortunately didn’t win.

Those hashtags.
Numbers don't lie...
49-46 lul

 

[ufcfan4]

Yeah I like the positivity. She has nothing to be embarrassed about. Fun fight and a competitive one. She gave a good effort but Rose beat her. Curious to see what's next for her.

I got a little annoyed that she thought she had won but it was a fun fight and she had her moments too so good for her. Happy to see she looks alright.


EDIT Oh I didn't see those hashtags! I was talking about her attitude inside the cage. Wtf JJ, really girl?

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

she will be back on the beach by Monday....

A fighter has a winning attitude, of course right now she thinks she won..Plus her coaches are telling her she outstruck her.. I bet when she watches the tape she might think different. Either way neither of them have anything to hang there heads about, was a good fight.

49-46 was atrocious. I thought she edged it. Won 3&4 and the 5th was close. I admit it could have gone either way. She won her rounds clearer than rose won hers. And I wanted rose to win

She's tougher than a lot of women.

"The real"

She's calling herself the real champion. Sore loser.

Mrs. Byrd, is that you?

She's tougher than a lot of men!

She should fight Claudia again. Rose should fight either Andrade or KK

 

[notori0us1]

Her post fight press conference reveals to me that she hasn't been humbled. She's delusional and this will only hurt her going into the future.

I don't see how anyone would ever give her that 5th, and you're insane if you think the 4th was the closest round by far.

She fought well, but I think she's on an inevitable slide now in her career. She made millions thanks to Ronda/Conor/GSP, she's had possibly over 100 fights if you count everything, has taken a ton of damage, gone through many tough weight cuts, is getting older, is possibly chinny, and has now lost her title to a girl she's 0-2 against. She's clearly past the peak of the mountain.

I think she should go to 125 to try and get a second title. A final achievement and some final paydays before she calls it a career. The weight cut is tough and she's been talking about retirement for years. Possible fights against Paige VanZant, Nicco Montano, Sijara Eubanks (good matchup for Joanna), and of course another fight with Valentina (maybe her final fight).

I didn´t see the fight yet, but I am happy she lost. She is a disgrace to polish sports, and we never had such a big mouth like her. Well, maybe that ex-con Szpilka, but he´s not even gatekeeper anymore.
She should keep her mouth shut and stop pretending to be the bestb trash talker. I don´t know what future holds up for her, maybe she should take a break, maybe move up to BW, or maybe quit MMA.. I dunno. She has enough money to do it. She is the face for Samsung Poland, Reebok Poland, Oshee Drink and so on, so money ain´t the issue. Of course Rose grown up and she is now like a programmed robot and doing great but if mystiq of JJ and her perfect striking is now away, I can see every top 5 woman can beat her.
Anyway - first two things she HAS TO DO, if she wants to go back on the top, is to shut the fuck up, and quit blaming anyone else but herself for failures. It would also be good, to re-find that fire and hunger she had once back then, when she trained in Poland.

It’s cool If people think rose won, it was close.
Joanna outstruck her in every rd. People argue rose did more damage but did she? Joanna’s face was busted up for sure but she gets busted up easy like gsp did. She never got dropped or rocked. Joanna could have gone another 5rds but I doubt rose could have with her leg the way it was.

She has a lot to be embarrassed about actually. Namely the whole boogie woman thing, the tapping to strikes thing and the I'm the queen of the division thing.

She's not one to take a loss well and that's something she can work on. But the fact remains that she performed well after getting curbstomped first time out. I feel like there are positives that she can glean out of that fight. She needed to pour it on a bit more when she was getting more comfortable in rounds 3 and 4. I feel that the specter of the knockout continued to loom over the rematch for her. She did well enough (not well enough to win but kept it competitive and won two rounds in my opinion) but we've seen her throw higher volume and initiate striking exchanges in the clinch more than she was willing to attempt to do this time out.

Obviously Rose's movement and abilities were huge factors, but I think Joanna was not as offensive to an extent because she knew Rose could put her down.
