News Zhang Weili vs. Tatiana Suarez at UFC 312 on Feb 9 for Strawweight Champ

<36>

If you ever watch that fight yourself you'll see that Rose started outgrappling Zhang in the 4th (not the 5th) where she got 2.5 mins of top control time after a ground reversal. Up until that round Rose had stopped more than half of Zhang's tds, which is also grappling. Zhang wasn't able to do enough with her grappling over 5 rounds to win her the fight, while Rose literally won 2 of her 3 rounds via her grappling. I'm not a Rose fan either.
Not a rose fan??? You breaking my heart.

Zhang got 5 out of 11 takedown attempts, and even MOUNTED Namajunas. Namajunas got a takedown in the last 5 seconds of the 1st and in the 5th. Two takedowns is not "outgrappling." <lmao>There was no "outgrappling" until zhang got fatigued. When you watch the fight you'll see.

Rose stopped over half of Zhang's tds and landed both of hers. 5/11 isn't good for Zhang, especially when she couldn't do anything with them. Stopping over half the takedowns is outgrappling. Why wouldn't it be?

Yeh, Zhang mounted her . . . with 5 seconds to go in the third, leaving her no time to actually do anything with it. Amazing stuff lol.

You're trying to make it out like I haven't seen the fight but you didn't even know Rose was winning the grappling in the 4th earlier. You thought it was the 5th lol. You sure you've actually seen this fight? Or did you just get ChatGPT to give you a bad summary or something?

The reality is Rose won rounds 4 and 5 on all cards, and in one of those rounds she got outstruck. She got it done with her grappling while not letting Zhang do enough with hers earlier in the fight. Whether it only happened because Zhang fatigued only means if her grappling had been better than Rose's then Zhang wouldn't have wasted so much energy failing on td attempts and trying and failing to get anything done on the ground earlier in the fight.

Also, even if Rose did only start taking over the grappling once Zhang got tired, why does that matter? She still got outgrappled haha.

Finally, if Rose didn't start outgrappling Zhang until Zhang tired out in 5th like you claimed earlier, then how did Rose manage to rack up the same mount of control time in round 4 alone that Zhang did in 1, 2, and 3 combined?

5/11 tds vs 2/2 and 7 mins of control time vs 3.5, but you think Rose didn't outgrapple her hahahaha.

I hope Suarez steamrolls her in 1 round. Tko from mounted crucifix hellbows
 
This is gonna be a very interesting clash of styles. I suspect someone is gonna get utterly dominated in this fight. It won’t even be close. However, I’m not sure who gets dominated.

Then again there still is plenty of time for Suarez to pull out
Nah I think Suarez is fighting regardless of injury. Rumor is Tatiana hired fans in the crowd to boo Weili during her walkout. She won't be able to defend takedowns because the tears will compromise her vision.
 
Zhang is a better athlete than Suarez. Suarez is a bit slow on her shot but she can actually wrestle and scramble. I think it can be a blowout for either women. It's probably who gets their game going first will end up winning. I don't think Zhang is a submission threat off her back but she has some sweeps.
