honestly you never want to do the same thing twice like that lol

it was a static volley to a move that can have a variable response.

[Gomi]

Rose has absolutely no confidence or drive to greatness. "Great pressure off my shoulders"?? You consider the belt to be pressure?

Honey, it's time to hang em up if you are feeling great to lose your title. LOL

she struggles with admitted mental issues

[RemainDieHard]

I thought spiking on head / pile-driver has always been illegal?

unfortunately not

Love it when Brazilians get ktfo in Brazil and the crowd goes silent.

Most memorable for me was OSP starching Shogun

Yea it's legal when convenient

[TimDF]

I had Andrade to win and I genuinely hated Rose, but damn I respect the chit out of Rose as a striker.

[PepperedAngus]

not in MMA.

And a primary reason you dont want to be holding an arm while you are lifted because you have no hands left to break a fall if they pile drive you.

lol how can you hate Rose?

she's such a goofball

[Mr.PissShivers]

Its not illegal if its defensive. Rose had the double wrist lock grip so Jessica was protecting.

[VegasLifter26]

love rose but she isnt fit to be a great champion..she is a feminine woman who is very emotional. Glad to see she wasnt paralyzed because of that slam

most UFC women champs are very alpha females - rousey, cyborg, jj, amanda, ect

[BalkanPrince]

Yeah but hearing that from a UFC champion is outrageous. It speaks volumes about Joanna getting beaten by Rose.

I have to agree with DC on that speech, it's just nuts. Compare her speech to Conor who says it will take a army to take his belt from him, or DC who literally shed tears after losing his title, or Khabib who accepts nothing but to be the only self-proclaimed King of the Jungle and you will realize why they are dons of the game.

Rose should just hang em up.

[Swept]

Andrade is a bull in a china shop, her technique is basically is to go beserker. I knew this was a bad matchup for Rose, if Andrade was the underdog I would of bet some money.


This was the aarp card for the most part

wrong

[MMAMatty]

For those wondering about piledriving/spiking, the rule is similar to 12 to 6 elbows; You cannot pick someone straight up, and drop them straight down. If there is an arc, it's legal.

At least that's what I recall Big John saying on JRE. I could be wrong of course.

yessir

there was a similar discussion then

you can land them diagonally like this: \
but its illegal to land them with their spine like this: |

and in the replay we could see she landed pretty diagonally in the pocket kinda on her shoulder too

As I stated above, due to Rose threatening with a double wrist lock, Jessica was allowed to slam her in any way she wanted. If Rose wanted to keep her double wrist lock grip it was up to her to adjust position, otherwise she would have had to get go, thus making it an illegal spike....at least potentially.

[thenamenottaken]

I've had a crush on Rose since TUF. She's the right amount of mental and can pull some crazy moves. What Jessica did was legal since it was in a clinch and not 12-6. Rose may have thought she could pull something whack off but should've bailed and released. She'll be back. She learns from her mistakes. Just glad she's ok.

Yes, this is also correct. Very similar to when Quinton Jackson spiked Ricardo Arona I believe it was. Arona had on armbar, and got dumped on his head/ko'd.

I've always wondered why someone wouldn't defend a double-leg by piledriving/spiking. If there's an arc, it's legal. Hard to do though obviously.

I once did it to a friend in a drunken wrestling match. My heart stopped beating for a few seconds, as I thought I broke his neck.

NOTICE; Don't wrestle when you're drunk! I met someone who was a quadriplegic for exactly this reason!

It should be noted when a fighter is placed into a submission hold by their opponent, if that fighter is capable of elevating their opponent they may bring that opponent down in any fashion they desire because they are not in control of their opponent's body.

These.

That being said, Rose was taking her apart on the feet. I was sure the fight was lost after the first round. I could not believe her corner telling her they had Rose right where they wanted her.

[DrewDarden]

I hate to see Rose go out that way, especially given how good she looked up until that point.

[Deathstroke]

Congratulations to Jessica and respect to Rose!

I knew going into this I’d be fine with whatever outcome just knowing Joanna would not be going home with it.

Good fight and people still hate women’s mma?!!!

[Deathstroke]

Did jack swagger get too overzealous or something? Wtf

It was weird.

Maybe he just doesn't know how that sort of behavior is taken in MMa.

Just watched the post fight interview.

He’s a good athlete who has some potential in mma but he has always been a bit of a meathead not the most intelligent like the typical stereotype of a dumb jock.

In wwe he couldn’t remember his lines in interviews but he could wrestle.

Reminds me a bit of how Brock acted at ufc 100.

I’m going to say he genuinely thought TJ was hitting him from below as opposed to tapping.. the post fight stuff well he was a heel mostly in wwe it’s how you react to boos.

[AWillis]

glad she seems happy. said she is able to pay her house off in full. financially free. good job Rose. seems like a quality person

She's too mentally off. Like those mentally unstable people who would pass this it off as Buddhism or reject materialism. She is now talking about retiring. She needs a sport psychologist more than Garbrandt.

[Deathstroke]

Poor thing at least she’s staying positive

[DrewDarden]

She's neurotic and she it's clear that she has emotional baggage stemming from childhood trauma. But that doesn't mean she's mentally off. It just means that maybe she doesn't have that single-minded competitive drive that can sustain a championship reign over a period of years like a Fedor or Anderson Silva. One in a billion or so people do.

Plus she's a young woman. She may want to settle down with her husband and have kids and a life.

She's attained the highest level of her chosen sport. She was the world champion. Maybe it's too overwhelming to keep doing it at this point.

There's a thousand reasons to walk away right now. Maybe she ultimately won't, but it makes all the sense in the world why she'd be thinking about walking away now to be a jiu jitsu coach or something and just live a quiet life.
