I saw it live at the footprint center, everyone was getting up for bathroom breaks during that fight, Carla shouldn't be champ, rose should be champ still there's no way anyone should be able to win a title with a performance like that, i get that it takes two to tango but I feel when a title fight like that happens the champ should stay champ cause the contender should be the one that brings the fight since it's the champs job to defend, they both fought a boring fight though
It was the most overrated fight of the night, Esparza became champion just for having the best attitude, while in each round they went around the ring without hitting each other
I love the fact that Rose is so humble. She is such a smart fighter, sometimes I wish she had more power, other fighters seems to rely mainly on their power, but Rose seems to rely more on thinking power, and that's what makes her special.
Wow that was really close. As everyone knows in boxing ,when it's close it usually goes to the champ . as the old saying goes , you have to take the belt from the champ. incredible fight though . much respect to both fighters .👍
How is it that Rose took 5x defending champion Joanna out in 1 round and beat her convincingly in the rematch, a technical battle, took champion Zhang out in 1 round and edged her in a very close rematch, then lost to Esparza in the ultimate sleeping pill of a fight? Just insane. She's one of the most well rounded, brilliant fighters but that recent one was simply baffling and not indicative at all of the world class fighter or person she is.
@@kd3283 Pat the Predator needs to be removed. Have you noticed how he's fighting to speak when Trevor, the noted genius, is trying to speak? In those crucial moments in between rounds, he shouldn't even be there taking up time.
Rose was more worried about Carla's grappling than Weili's. Carla will lay on you for 5 rounds with no remorse, but we haven't really seen that with Weili even when she out grapples people.
There's something about that intercepting right cross at 15:52 that's so beautiful. She times it in such a way that she's able to hit Weili cleanly while ducking under the left hook counter at the same time. Even better is that she used it as a set-up for the takedown at 16:46. She's used that set-up/takedown in past fights, but perfecting the right cross makes the set-up much more convincing.
Says who ? Why ? Doesnt it also make sense that to be a champ , and be the best, u need to obliterate the challenger? But hey, lbh, anyone who fought the better that night need to be champion, its what make sense. Dont promote such toxic culture
@@servantofallah9425 Say the entire UFC and people who knows MMA, did you saw many (any) draws in UFC ? nope, you can argue Dana culture, Don King legacy and sh... that's entertainment people often forget, do i like the "make a clear difference rule/hungry for the belt" ? nope, do i think it's somewhat legit ? yep.
for me there´s much more interest in watching a fight where both opponents respect each other, where there´s no trash talk, to talk, if you´re gonna talk, talk in the octagon!
@@danielbattle7620They’re in different weight classes now so unless Weili moves up this is wishful thinking. Im not sure about the outcome now, but I would give the edge to Weili if they did face off again. Weili’s ground game has gotten much better and her kickboxing is top notch right now.
@@Eyeofthetiger69 definitely, weili doesn't need to fight Rose if she wins against Carla. Carla shouldn't fight Rose as she beat her twice too. The only fight for Rose is either Lemos or a trilogy with Andrade
Good god. This was a spectacular fight. Seriously, bith women are EASILY hall of fame fighters. Its a shame rose loss to carla esparza the way she did. Dont know what the game plan was for that match, but im all for round 3 of these two.
It's crazy how she went from having 6 insane fights (joannax2,Jessica x 2, Weili x 2)... to the absolute can show against Esparza. I'm a Rose fan but jesus that was horrendous. From all account the main issue was Pat Barry was the main corner man for it rather then Whitman. Bounce Barry back to towl boi going forward and stick with Whttman or its a quick nose down to the prelims ya keep this crap up.
Good eye. I think it might have been a liver shot, hence the reaction. And this was while Rose attempted the same lunging left hook she used against Joanna at UFC 217, except Joanna stood still and attempted to parry what she thought was a jab, while Weili moved off the center line -- completely eliminating the guessing game -- and used the superior angle to counter Rose. Good stuff.
Ugh, is Rose just cool as fuck or what. I didn't know she was with Barry, I used to be a big fan of his, he's from Louisiana, super nice dude. Wishing her all the best. Enjoy your time.
I’ve watched it so many times trying to score it for Rose no clue how they gave her the decision or how they gave her 4 rounds. Zhang’s a better fighter after the losses so I’m not too upset now. 😊
@@Satsuionly Rose out struck and out wrestled Weili in the 2nd round. I don't get how you can watch that 2nd round and see Rose on top of Weili and think that Weili won that round. Rose won the striking and Rose won the wrestling what else do you want?
It's on TH-cam. Might be on thus page now. Actually had Colby 4and 5. Usman 1and 2. Round 3 was very close imo. First fight Colby was definitely winning but Usman got the win by stoppage. Wonder who Colby will fight next after beating Masvidal easily. Colby vs Dustin would be great but at 170. Dustin, who is a bad ass, loves 2 cut 30-40 lbs 2 make 155. He dud fight Conor at 170. It should be interesting.
But weili gets redemption on rose because a fighter can’t always be taking loss to the same opponent same thing with izzy I thought alex own him but boy was i wrong alex got put to sleep by Izzy
@@rapreposts4906 I thought the Rose and Weili rematch was too close in Weili's favor, you're right though fighters can't keep losing to the same fighter
The only people who think Weili won the rematch are those who mistakenly believe Weili rocked Rose in the second round. Rewatch the fight. That punch went under Rose's armpit and she slipped on the slippery canvas, like many other fighters did that night. Rose wasn't hurt at all. Actual strikes were 22-12 Rose in that round. It wasn't even close. Rose clearly won rounds 2, 4 and 5, so 48-47 Rose is the correct decision. And that's being generous and giving the first round to Weili.
@@sfer1 oh well Weili more than likely wins if they rematch now but rose hasn't come out of whatever cave her and her groomer husband have been hiding in after she got out struck by esparza then choked out in a literal minute
I can't get over how harmless Rose looks lol. She's like this tiny skinny little thing with hardly any muscles! but when she starts fighting you're like whaaaatttt!
Can't stand anyone who calls themselves thug. Why should I like someone that supposedly lives that life style? You can have her and I know of several that could take her easy. But they aren't fighting anymore so my protest is to not watch
Fighters are usually nicknamed by team mates and coaches at their gyms, often early in their careers. Picking your own nickname would be considered arrogant and unbecoming, Dave. "Why should I like..."? Get over yourself. Like the UFC is about you...
Rose landed more strikes, had longer top control and won more rounds. I don't see how you give Weili either of the last two rounds which means you think Rose didn't win any of the first 3 rounds which is a stretch because she easily won round 2.
@@high5786 Weili could only hold Rose on the ground for a few seconds while when Rose took Weili down she couldn't escape in the 2nd round. Rose is the real queen she has beaten the other two best twice in a row and has never been gifted an automatic title shot like Weili or Joanna.
@@high5786 I know what you are going to argue. You are going to count that slip in round 2 as something when Rose actually landed the harder shot when she slipped. If you are going to play that game then I can say Rose rocked Weili in rounds 1 and 3 when Weili slipped.
@@zeaferjones1404 Rose didn't slip, Weili landed hard shot on her shoulder near her upper chest that Rose got dropped if not because of the cage. Obviously you didn't do your research bro
Rose has to work on hitting without being hit. take what your opponent's offers. break your opponent down from the outside may not make a entertaining fight but will keep you fighting. is Rose retired
Great advice. I'm sure she and her coaches never thought of that, and she was probably trying to do the opposite. Hit without being hit? Who would have guessed?
