Rose got that.
I hope so. Tecia is one of the most boring fighters i’ve ever watched. One finish in her ammy and pro career. One. It was given to her on a silver platter and she still almost coasted to a decision lol.
They’re both going to look pretty gross after gaining 106 pounds.
One of the only positives of the WME era is that it is no longer run by a guy who is militantly committed to rematches. If this is the Zuffa era, Joanna gets the immediate rematch.
Uncle Enzo had this bizarre obsession with rematches, insisting that they always did better, even though that is not true.

I'm just glad it's not JJ....I hate immediate rematches
They've already fought twice. Why is this match even being made??
Claudia
Andrade
Are both better fights

Tecia has never battered anyone. Lol
Yeah not exactly a highlight reel of sweet subs or TKOs
I hope Thug takes her again this time
I don't mind it, only because I'm a big Namajunas fan. Would like to see her defend the title at least once, so this would be the easiest pick out of the contenders.
It should be Jessica Andrade thats next in line. If not Jessica, then I want Jedrzejczyk rematch. I'm usually not a fan of rematches, but when there has been a dominate champion, they deserve a rematch, and I'm intrigued to see if Namajunas can beat her again.
The money fight is Namajunas vs. Jedrzejczyk. UFC might still run this.

Tecia gave Rose her first professional mma loss
I can see Tecia pulling off a close decision. Absolutely no power in her hands whatsoever, but she does have a high work rate.
Only because the judges are fuckin retarded.

mutherfuckers you don't want problems with bruh" - Joanna Champion
I'm fine with a new person getting a title shot here, even if Andrade has the superior claim. I frankly hate shit like "let's have the last two failed contenders a shot at each other" which the UFC did twice in a row because it can lead to a situation where, in the event of a new champion, the most qualified contender is someone on a one-fight win streak.
So, I'm fine with Torres jumping the line just a bit. She's technically 10-1 and this would be a trilogy match with Rose. A five-round match also would also make this a bit different from their previous matches due to the cardio issue, with Torres' really high workrate never having been tested that far.
Andrade gets winner (I feel like the winner of Rose/Torres will have a short turnaround), and maybe make the winner of Esparza/Calvillo vs. Jedrzejczyk for shot after next. Meanwhile, make Kowalkiewicz vs. Herrig and Gadelha vs. Grasso, and have the winner of those two fight for shot-after-shot-after-next.
Also, Waterson vs. Calderwood (both good, exciting fighters on two-fight skids), Tatiana Suarez vs. Nina Ansaroff (hot prospect vs. veteran with a recently elevated game), and Angela Hill vs. Cortney Casey (both credible, fun fighters alternating wins and losses and looking to find their groove right now).

Lol when I read this I thought it meant energy because it couldn't mean punching.
