Wasn't Namajunas wining the stand up fight from the outside until Karolina discovered Rose's vulnerability to knees out of the Thai clinch? Michelle wins an outside striking match. If KK tries Thai clinches she will be dealing with someone, in Michelle, who has trained and fought in Thailand and she will also be risking the take down.
I got Michelle in this match.
Rose is 5'5 with like a 66 inch reach. Michelle is like 5'2 with a 62 inch reach. She'll have a hard time winning a fight on the outside against KK, who has a about a 3 inch height and reach advantage (she looked nearly as tall as Rose, Joanna, and Heather, all 5'5 or 5'6 fighters). I'm not saying it's impossible, just that Rose was more suited for that gameplan than Michelle.
