Theres No Point To A Third Rose/Weili Match

Rose is alright. She is with a new team and he seems to be coaching her vs Pat.

Sometimes she shines and sometimes she flops. Nobody here would be fine if their former coach molested them while they were still a teenager and now currently married to them.

I have no idea what you're talking about

I don't think Rose is interested in straw anymore, but if she is, I don't think she should get a title shot. She would technically be above Ribas though, so if she wanted a 115 fight, her for Dern could probably be marketed well and the winner could benefit from the name value of the win. With Dern being the type who really brings the fight to press Rose into action, I think it'd be the best path for Rose to try and prove she can still continue to do this.

Yeah I know, that's what I said. She has no real business at fw tho. She has no power there.

Namajunas doesnt need to fight her, she has already proven to be better. Weili only has the title cause they kept giving her title shots, 3 fight out of 6 were a title shot at one point, not title fights, actual title shots.

It's not talked about enough, but her level of title shot earnings is worse than even Colby levels

Are people even suggesting this?
I am in no way a Thug fan but to her credit, Rose has put on some great fights in her career... but she's had some stinkers too.
I don't see her anywhere near a title again though

Sometimes a sherdogger just gotta go on record and let the public know that he vehemently doesn't support the thing no one suggested should happen.

I didn't say title fight. I figured Weili would go up to fight her, cause I dont think Rose is coming down.

Why would the SW champion move up to FLW to fight a former opponent who is 2-2 at the new weight class? Its Valentina who she would fight if she ever moves up.

And why would Rose get a title shot at SW? Like I said there's no reason for them to fight again

Imo if she drops she would not get one, at the very least needs a win at SW to get it, if not 2 wins.

Having said that, a lot of fighters have got "undeserving" title shots coming off loses, that wouldnt be unheard of, and i dont think she would get one if she drops anyway, i never said there is a reason for a 3rd fight, she is up 2-0 already.

In fact, Rose should probably retire.

I say this as a fan, but everytime I have to watch her fight now I just get depressed. Pat Barry used to be her rock, but now that relationship has become a liability. I used to really defend their relationship, but now? He's definitely holding her back because of the whole Trevor Wittman debacle, but if he were to leave I doubt Rose would be able to fight again. Despite the controversy of their relationship, it's clear she's head over heels in love with the guy, otherwise their relationship wouldn't have lasted so long.

Rose still has the potential to be great, but she needs the right management, and there's just too many internal issues in her camp. Wittman would have to come back, she would have to move back to 115, and Pat Barry would have to take a step back. I don't see any of that happening. She just doesn't seem like she's really interested in fighting anymore. She used to have so much pep, and contrary to what people said, that girl had so much willpower when motivated. However, it's clear that motivation has faded.

A third fight with Weili makes no sense. First, Rose doesn't deserve it. I'll be the first to admit that. Rose will always have those two wins against Zhang, but the reality is that besides her first professional fight, those are the only two hiccups in Zhang's professional career. She's just a more disciplined fighter with a stronger mindset. Rose probably has more natural talent than her, and with the coaching of Trevor Wittman, that was enough to beat Zhang those two times. Without him? Her chances are greatly diminished. Zhang looks scarier than ever, and Rose simply isn't the same fighter she once was. A third fight would be pointless. Like yeah, Zhang could say she got the win back, but it's not against the version of Rose who beat you, so what's the point? I don't think Zhang is that vain. She's not Frank Shamrock, and Rose isn't Jon Lober.

If Rose isn't at her best, there's no point, and she clearly isn't. Physically she's probably still capable of those performances, but we all know we're not gonna see that Rose.

TLDR: Rose isn't the same fighter, wouldn't mean anything, girl should retire and go garden and be happy with her Bible and shit.

TLDR: you even screwed up that.

Rose moved to FlyW. If Weili moves to FlyW it will be to fight Schevchenko. If Rose drops back down to SW she isn't in line for a title fight. Pointless thread

Yeah some people want to see Weili get that win back.

Rose really only started putting on stinkers recently. Before the Esparza rematch, she was always entertaining. Everything went to shit after that. Even her wins were boring.

i'm trying to think of a fight not named Charles Oliviera that managed to string together a competitive career after a string of losses.
Mind you it's WMMA where anything is possible.
 
Who asked for this fight? Any Sherbro knows Rose deserves jack shit at this point.
 
Rose getting back to sw and a win over a contender to challenge Zhang IS the only interesting SW title fight out there.

We're getting Zhang vs Virna (hopefully) next or a rematch with Yan. The next contender after that could be Dern yikes or lucindo meh.
