Media Rose’s grandfather died

Jake Shields and Khabib both fought shortly after their fathers died without hesitation, and I have more respect for them for being able to put their grief aside and carry on with their obligations.
Lol at the soyboys taking your post out of context. Easy to see you're saying you're saying but these soyboys are so emotional they lack reading comprehension. This post doesn't say anything bad.

Where does this post say he doesn't respect Rose for not taking the fight? If anything it's just showing how tough it is for most fighters so what Khabib and Jake did deserves a lot of respect. Nothing here is shitting on Rose. Emotional soyboys.

Slow down there Colby
 
Woman are more emotional and sensitive than men. If you think my comment is misogynistic, then you either don't know what the word means or you are a virtue signalling snow flake.
Slow down there,Colby

Pt II. The Incels strike back
 
All those edge assgoles who bitched about khabib taking a break (before he said he was even taking one) because his father died,got something new to chew on. Congrats fellas. A winner is you.
 
Did she actually pull out of the fight? Was there ever an obligation? I'm serious btw iv been out of the loop.

Also, Rose seems to have some mental health issues and seems to be very sensitive so it doesn't surprise me. Not that there is anything wrong with it.
I think this is overdone. People speculate over alot of shit but no one really knows

She is no longer the champion. Its a fucked up time in world history and...She has no real obligation. She can come back when she wants to.I dont know why this upsets anyone. Its not like this fight even got signed.

Why do people care? if they were fans of Rose they wouldnt. If they are not fans of Rose,then why would you even have an opinion about a fight that was not signed?

Masvidal took 2 yrs off and came back a much better fighter. He dont need to fight every card just to satisfy the fans who will never be satisfied.
 
it kind of is.
Can we find one cool dude named Gary honestly?

besides gary albright,who died a long time ago

People grieve differently. She shouldn't be judged on how other people have reacted to loss.
There are so many words I would like to say for a person criticizing a fighter for taking off to cope with a death. Alas all would get me banned. Something I find ironic

Nobody cares about your respect. Everybody reacts different to the loss of a loved one. You're the one who should show some respect and let her grieve how she needs to.

Everyone grieves differently. Don't hate.
 
even though some posters may think this is callous and horrible to say its the truth. her grandparents are likely 80-90s and eventually will die and often suddenly by heart attack/stroke. its not like her husband or dad/mom died. look at a fighter like khabib whose dad who was very much still active and the primary coach of khabib dying at the age of 57. khabib only delayed his fight by one month with gaethje and put on one of this most dominating performances. staman fought shortly after his younger brother died and won. lots of athletes play games in the nfl/nba after losing loved ones and put up phenomenal performances.

honestly if rose is not 100% mentally there, i'd much rather see Joanna rematch Zhang than see Rose get wrecked again. Rose has little to no chance to win a 5 round fight not only because of the lack of mental toughness but she is physically weak and wore down twice later in the rounds against Andrade, same thing would happen with Zhang.
It depends on person to person. Rose might have had a special relationship with her grandfather, you never know. Assumptions are not fair until you have all the facts.
 
Hope her family recovers from their loss.


If a male fighter acted the way "thug rose" they would be the most hated athlete in history.
Literally nothing "thug" about her.
 
It’s her profession. And not only that. Her culmination of her entire life work is on the line. Grandpa wouldn’t want her to miss that.

I own a small business. A butcher shop. I’ve had the same 4 guys with me for over a decade.
I have lost a lot over that time. And some have as well. I never closed a day in that time. I went to funerals and if I could make it back to work. I made it back. They can go to funerals and take the day or next off. And we’ll see what they want to do. But it would never be over a week under any foreseeable circumstance. But it just depends on the circumstances. If I wasn’t close to these guys I would think differently.

of course i am more than happy ( not happy as were small every man is important) to let them take some days to grieve. But you get through it. . But you just have to keep going. Being sad and miserable and doing nothing only makes it so much worse.
Life can be just brutal. You just have to keep going.
You only seem to accept your own view at things. You make if seem like a person that takes a while off is miserable by default. Also, everyone grieves different. One person might carry on without shedding a tear, while others are much more emotional. It really doesn't matter. You have to do what feels right for you, so that you come out stronger. The fact you respect someone less who takes his time is weird to me. It's like saying you should be disrespected for not closing your shop and take time to grieve.
 
That's a misogynistic view. You're saying women are weak and need "white glove" treatment. If you can't understand why that's your issue. Ask a feminist why and she'll be happy to explain it.
Misogynistic and feminist. Do you have any more words to pull out of your virtue signalling dictionary? You really should stop using grown-up words that you don't understand.

it sure doesn’t everywhere.

It does in most decent jobs worth doing as a career but it's not really the same she is under no obligation to accept fights while having a death in the family. She can just fight a few months later.
 
she literally declined the fight. Didn’t want to fight for the title months away.

it’s just fact.

She doesn't want to be in a training camp right after her grandfather died while still morning him. You act like the date of the fight is all that matters as if training camps don't exist. Khabib didn't fight till 4 months after his father died due to similar reason and almost no one gave him shit about it.
