Joanna's title reign

[DOMMA]

Other than Mighty Mouse, is there any other UFC champ that has a better chance to retain the belt for a long time? Other than Claudia, it does not look like any of these contenders have much of a chance to take the belt.

Rose will find a way.

 

[Degen Gambler]

Bisping

 

[Which Doctor]

Matt Hughes

 

[Sonny Qc]

Jessica Andrade can make some noise. at 115lbs.

 

[Sparkie]

JJ could reign supreme for a long time

 

[JollyRants]

Rose will find a way.

Came here to say this. Rose will tap her.

 

[TrainInVain]

As long as she doesn't start getting too overconfident, she should keep the belt for a long time.

It also depend on how Joanna can maintain her motivations and for how long she'll be able to

 

[Hi-Tech]

While she has easy work on paper I can easily see her losing a fight. She had a relatively tough fight against Letourneau and she tends to break her hand in fights. Didn't she have a long career in MT? Who knows how long her body can take the punishment, lack of motivation could become a problem too.

She's some sort of female 115 lbs version of Jose Aldo, good basic muay thai striking against wrestlers who can't take her down, but she can have a problem against some taller chick with unorthodox MMA boxing. I can see her getting submitted too.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

God I would love to see her beat the shit out of Rose.

 

[DOMMA]

I do not see Rose as a threat. JJ will beat her standing and her TD defense is pretty good. When she is taken down, she is very good at getting back to her feet.

Like another poster said earlier, she is Jose Aldoish with her striking and TD defense. She is also very big for the weight class.

Dominant champ in a very shallow division. Starting to look like Ronda back in her heyday, only that Joanna is a much better champion.

 

[Abazzdeboom]

UFC should sign some other talent
I know she's with Rizin but beauty queen Rena Vs Joanna would be super exciting fight

 

[007]

None of those girls on list will beat her, except by fluke maybe Rose

 

[PiFFLoRD]

Rose will find a way.

I'm a big fan of Thug Rose, and I think she could give the champ a lot of problems. But my money is on Joanna, her tdd has improved a lot and I'm not sure if rose can hang standing with Joanna.

 

[Reddd]

She can be beaten for sure. I hope she keeps winning though, but a strong armed girl who can hold her down will be her eventual downfall. I just don't see enough girls hitting hard enough to stop her that way when her striking is so good.

 

[West_Hammer]

Didn't we say the same about Ronda...?

 

[edirp]

Joanna will soon surpass Mighty Mouse. Ian McCall will be the man to do it.

Would be a great fight, although I think Rena would be too busy fixing her hair while Joanna was punching her in the face.
