Rose started to break mentally in the 2nd round. Sherdoggers who have watched MMA for more than a couple of years could see it. .
I thought she was tiring faster than usual....i posted it on here saturday, not that i expect you to search or careWhat a stupid claim lol. Rose looked fine until the slam.
If he hadn't hung on the arm she would have continued to destroy Andrade. Lets not live in a fantasy land where Andrade wasn't getting dominated the entire time up until that point.
I thought we saw a great fight with a crazy finish. It's wild how many people seem to think Rose was done before the slam, they're trying to paint a picture where she was already finished and looking for away out. I guess you can convince yourself to see whatever you want to see.
I would bet on Andrade. Rose doesn't seem sure if she loves fighting. Andrade is a fighter to the core. If you're not sure you want to be in there you find a way out. Rose is very pretty and super talented figher etc.... It's hard for the butch lesbians in this sport, they don't get the love from sherdog or the other fans. Andrade is a savage.Usually when you get finished in a round or two, people don't cry out for a rematch.
This was different though: Rose was the better fighter and made a mistake. There's no one out there who would bet significant amounts of money on Rose not winning a rematch.
Add to that, Andrade looks like she's been using.
Whatever you say, buddy!
See Cain v. JDS trilogy.
Rose is the better striker, Andrade is the better grappler. Rose can't stop Andrades takedowns and that will always be a problem .Even after the epic beatdown in round 1 all Andrade needs to do is get her hands on her. As good as Rose footwork is, it's not good enough to avoid takedowns for an entire fight.I appreciate your analysis but I think you are wrong, Rose wins 8/10. The slam however ended in a fluke KO, if you think anything else I don't know what to say.
I see a lot of people calling for a rematch, pointing out that she dominated Andrade in the first round (which is true), and saying she got caught with a lucky slam (which is false). It's a cute idea, but these people really don't understand fighting.
Rose started to break mentally in the 2nd round. Sherdoggers who have watched MMA for more than a couple of years could see it. She even admitted it in her post fight interview, saying something along the lines of being "mentally exhausted", leading to her making the mistake and getting slammed.
Andrade was making her uncomfortable by putting on the pressure and coming forward. She was starting to land shots, including some good leg kicks, and it demoralized Rose because she hit Andrade with the kitchen sink and she was still coming after her. We've seen this kind of indominable spirit break all sorts of fighters over the years, male and female, MMA and boxing.
Andrade is simply a beast who is going to keep coming no matter what. Joanna had the mental stamina and focus to deal with that for 5 rounds. Rose doesn't, plain and simple. If they fight 10 times, Rose will probably win 10 round 1's. But Andrade's pressure will get to Rose every time. She has a great argument for being the most skilled/well rounded WMMA fighter we've seen, but she just lacks the mental game.
