Thug Rose!!! You be you, and pull the pin!!

[@weedhead421]

She'll suck on pins

[@JHugo719]

Cortez by submission

[@Tony314h]

Rose has a hard time with Mexican fighters, they're heavy pressure, its in their nature. Carla esparza did the same

[@ThatYoung]

I’m mean, i don’t think if she beats Rose it will shock the world. It would be a huge win, but it ain’t that serious.

[@tuffneggah]
