I don't know why you want to see Joanna fight Rose again. She didn't beat Rose in the rematch. Rose won rounds 1, 2 and 5. Not to mention that the fight took place two days after the bus incident and Rose wasn't all there in her head.I want to see Joanna get her belt back. I thought she beat rose in the rematch and Carla is the easiest path to the title.
Joanna is getting older while Rose is getting better. Losing to the same opponent thrice would hurt her legacy.
There's nothing she can do to beat her. Rose is the better striker now. She's more elusive with better footwork and head movement, and hits much harder. On the ground, it's not even close. Joanna has better takedown defense, but that's about it and it wouldn't really matter in a fight between them. It's not like Joanna would even try to take Rose to the ground.
The only fighters that stand a chance against this evolved Rose are the ones that are physically very strong, such as Andrade and Weili. They still need to walk through her punches and she hits very hard. Valentina has said it. Andrade has said it. People look at Rose's physique and dismiss her power, but she's tied with Amanda for the most knockdowns in UFC WMMA history.
I'd like to see Joanna fight Rodriguez or rematch Weili.
As I said before, I think Rose will make it extremely easy against Carla. I'd like to see her fight Dern. It could get interesting if it goes to the ground.
