Pretty embarrassing for Joanna. She spent the whole lead up talking about how Rose was mentally weak, then she got dropped and tapped out to strikes in a title fight.

I want Cody to smash Teej so I can hear more of his confident unfiltered devoid of thought interviews. Humbled Cody would be boring.

Same here. I just didn't see anyone at that weight class ever outstriking JJ.
You know, I thought Shevchencko (at 125) would be the one to do it, but hey, Joanna has a thin head, without wanting to extrapolate too much.. thin heads can't take punches.

You can only act like a jerk for so long before it gets you.
Has nothing to do with it. The nicest guys & girls in the UFC get whipped too. Sometimes Champs have to fabricate that edge. Life is pretty good at the top. It’s impossible to keep the same fire you had coming up.

There's some truth in that. Guys with huge heads (Hunt, Cabbage, Big Country, BJ) are tough to KO.

I was going to say that as well. The rise was meteoric, so was the fall.

Ronda was completely full of herself, and got flattened. Jonna got full of herself, and rose literally made her tap to strikes.

I’m extrnwly happy for rose. Wow
yep..it's not often you see somebody tap to strikes. i think i've seen it before but can't remember who.
