Great points, hopefully more fighters will see the forest for the trees and shy away from emulating McGregor and get the promoters to do their job.Joanna let her ego get waaay out of control, she got caught up in the circus of promoting and trying to be a entertainering...
At the end of the day, a fighter should be focusing percent on fighting.
It is the UFC's job to promote fights and pump up fighters.
It's been a long time since I've been so pumped to see a fighter win like that Rose pulled off the upset and gave Joanna a nice slice of humble pie
One of my favorite post fight speeches everI guess Rogan mentioned it during the interview. Crazy fight.
That's a scary thought. They have to do an instant rematch, right? After a run like this...Knowing what I know about Poles, this will feed Joanna and allow her to become the malevolent empress of the division once more.
I hope they don't give her the immediate rematch. To me, those have been way overdone for way too long.That's a scary thought. They have to do an instant rematch, right? After a run like this...
I hope not. That was as dominant of a beating you could ask. Let Rose defend once or twice or well just get another pile up of good contenders.That's a scary thought. They have to do an instant rematch, right? After a run like this...

Agree with @Bones Nose. The rematches and trilogies are overdone, but I wouldn't mind a rivalry between Rose and Joanna. And Joanna deserves it considering how long she dominated the division.If anyone deserves a rematch its joanna
I'm not a fan of " deserve" due to long reigns. Of it was even remotely close, went the distance, controversial stoppage or something similar then sure. But of you get dropped twice and finished in the first you need to earn your way back. An immediate rematch for a long standing champion is basically saying the Challenger fluked out and beat the odds so let's try again.Agree with @Bones Nose.

Nothing wrong with that either. But what's the threshold for deserving an immediate rematch? Six title wins is significant enough imo.I'm not a fan of " deserve" due to long reigns.

What's wrong with at least one contender fight for JJ while Rose give another top 3 fighter a shot?
If it's a clear victory for the Challenger then it shouldn't be considered imo. It's crazy to reward the loser with another title shot when the fight wasn't close. JJ is amazing, just have her prove her worth with a contender fight and see what happens.Nothing wrong with that either. But what's the threshold for deserving an immediate rematch?

Give Leigh a day off from his crusade, these are observations from living in the country for a fairly long time.Reported to @Leigh for making assumptions based on ethnicity
I can dig it. I just really want to see a Thug Rose/Joanna Champion rivalry. There aren't many things about WMMA that get me excited, but those two fighting always will.If it's a clear victory for the Challenger then it shouldn't be considered imo.

Conor never lost a belt... he got a rematch in a 170lb fightThey only give rematches if they want the former champion to win it back. That is why Conor has never given anyone a rematch but got a rematch off his loss. It is bs.
I fully agree on loving a healthy rivalry, makes watching so much better.I can dig it. I just really want to see a Thug Rose/Joanna Champion rivalry. There aren't many things about WMMA that get me excited, but those two fighting always will.

^Fixed.Conor never DEFENDED a belt... he got a rematch in a 170lb fight
He’s coming to defend his belt next fight... finally we won’t have to hear people crying about Conor defending the belt . That’s all I hear anytime Conor’s name comes up^Fixed.
I'd rather see her go on to 125. I mean besides Rose there is nothing left for her at 115.I hope they don't give her the immediate rematch. To me, those have been way overdone for way too long.
