Lol, you're seriously trying to reach here. For one thing, Rose has faced almost every top contender at SW. To the point that her first title match for this 2nd reign was which rematch should it be. Keep in mind, she is only 28. So, how exactly has she gotten to overprepare for every fight when she is so young? Also, wtf is your rationalization with Rose & Joanna? They both literally & obviously got the exact same time to prepare for each other.
Rose was originally favored to win the 115 belt on TUF and they made an amature hour error in over estimating her and under estimating Carla. Pat even brought in a boombox with music for her.
Immediately after that loss she ran her career the way she has up to now. She constantly took excessive time off and never faced a grappler heavy opponent ever again. In fact the only time she was heavily grappled again was vs KK and Rose's BJJ was nowhere to be seen. She did just fine vs KK on the feet prior. Her coaches had her stop throwing kicks entirely and concentrated on her hands for a long ass time and the UFC kept giving her stand-up opponents who rarely grappled. She brought the kick back by the time she faced Waterson.
The argument that she doesn't excessively over prepare for opponents is just wrong. It was clearly the case in the first Andrade fight. She did to Andrade what Holly Holm did to Ronda. Right down to the side stepping and ducking under the right which was so well timed that she started it before Andrade extended the punch. You can get KOed doing that shit unless you know your opponent's timing and that takes 1000s of reps over many months for that specific move. She also had the kimura that she kept locking in perfectly until she fucked up because Andrade adjusted and Rose couldn't.
In fact Rose has a history of not being able to adjust to opponents that do something that she hasn't over prepared for. Carla, KK, Andrade and even Joanna in the 2nd fight exposed this at various points of those fights.
Rose was actually asked once directly in an online Q&A, IIRC around the first Andrade fight, if she will ever fight as often as Joanna had as champ. She outright said she will never run her career the way Joanna did.
IIRC she also said on JRE that they, her team, learned a lot from watching Joanna and would never make the mistakes she did. To date she really hasn't.
Anyone can look at Rose's record and see how much time she took off between fights. She took excessive time off after each loss as well. Good for her. She did exactly what she was supposed to do.
Rose, in the post fight press conference to the first Andrade fight, said herself that she wouldn't have returned so soon, which was well over a year after the 2nd Joanna fight, if she thought an interim belt wasn't going to be made.
Note: There was never any evidence of a neck injury pre Andrade fight and fighters regularly use injuries as leverage with the UFC for negotiations. It's one of the only things they can do to negotiate. Rose did that in the lead up to the Weili fights as well although she had more justification, IMO, before facing Weili the first time but she again almost lost out on that matchup due to her and her team constantly delaying the fight.
This stuff is just historical fact. You can dress it up however you like.
