Rewatched TUF 20... Man, Rose was such a killer

[M Raid K]

Ran through Alex Chambers under 5 minutes. It wasn't even remotely competitive, Rose overwhelmed her with punches and kicks, muscled around and secured a RNC. Like Melendez said, one of the most dominant fights out of the first 8 on this season.

Outstruck Calderwood at distance and outworked her in the clinch where Calderwood was traditionally the strongest. Eventually Rose found a kimura and finished previously unbeaten fighter.

Outgrappled a much better wrestler than PVZ in Randa Markos. Somebody mentioned that Rose doesn't have a lot of strength; well, she reversed the position after cranking kimura from the bottom (!). Twice. Think of Palhares vs Shields.

In the TUF Finale she lost to Esparza, a former Invicta champion, just a great Edgar-like wrestler with very good phaze-shifting and more experience (don't judge her only by JJ fight).

It would be very unfair if Rose is to lose to PVZ after performing so impressively on TUF.

EDIT: Thankfully, my concerns were not true. Namajunas completely dominated PVZ everywhere, but especially on the ground. Actually, even Markos tried head-and-arm throw against Namajunas and was reversed the same way.

What do you mean unfair? If she loses she loses...lol

Lol, that was the only part I was going to comment on, but clicked out instead.


Great season overall, I watched most of it. I had a casual fan friend get into that season as well.

If Roses loses that will just mean PZBeast is what she's supposed to be - the female Cain, crusher of souls and future champion.

 

[jojo]

Which is why this fight is so good. Both of them fight like that.

 

[sonhow]

Unfair? This aint pro wrestling... May the best (wo)man win.

I thought JoJo was gaining control in that fight before the sub happened. Might recall it wrong though. Such an odd sub too as kimura is just a very rare to pull off in general.

 

[SpiderNxno]

Rose should be the favorite in my opinion.

 

[mma2013]

lol, there is no such thing as unfair in a fight.

 

[GusLost]

My wife hated that season because I was in love with Rose

 

[Hardkore]

PVZ going to break Rose tonight, she'll submit her or TKO stoppage. Rose won't be able to handle the pressure of PVZ's relentless pace.

 

[Gazwald]

lol, there is no such thing as unfair in a fight.

Cain + JDS + Hunt + Miocic + Cormier vs Sage Northcutt wouldn't be a fair fight.
























Sage's superior athleticism would be too much for those dudes.

 

[jamielowndes]

Yeah totally agree. Became a huge fan of her and she was my favourite of the TUF crowd that year. Not hard considering how many of them were complete dicks. Herrig and Esparza did themselves no favours.

has nothing to do with strength... shoulder joint can't stop someone with that monkey grip and proper positioning

She adapted to the parameters of a tv show better than most of her housemates,nothing more....I wouldn't be afraid to put money on Calderwood or Randa if they faced Rose again......Unfair if PVZ beats her ? That's nonsense.

I think Randa could beat her in a rematch, but not JoJo. Calderwood's ground game is still too limited.
I'm taking Namajunas by kimura in the 2nd.

I would love to see Randa vs Paige .. l.o.v.e.i.t!

I don't see Rose losing if she is well conditioned and prepared to respond immediately to Paige's pressure. Paige just wears down her opponents with a grinding pace, but she can't really hurt you .. although she can submit you.

Rose's submission game is more slick than Paige's, so she has the BJJ advantage .. but she has to be able to keep up with that pace. Paige's come forward style will really work against her with a very technical striker that can hurt her coming in ala Rousey/Holm .. I know Rose is the better striker, just not sure she can really hurt Paige enough with strikes to slow her down.

might explain why you are not allowed to visit your 12 year old crew cut son anymore, too

She had long hair on TUF though
