Dana White just indicated that Joanna's leg kicks did nothing to Rose. She's still walking around backstage doing media like nothing occurred.

He also said he's flying out for WrestleMania tonight to support Ronda.

The narrative of the fight should have been 'holy poo poo, Khabib developed a nasty stiff jab out of loving Nowhere"

Yeah Khabib's standup is kind of funny looking in some ways but he slaughtered him with that jab. Rogan needs to take more Alpha Brain.

Yeah I kept thinking most of those leg kicks were just like slaps on the leg with the foot. They never looked to be terribly powerful.

He was doing that all night. He picked a narrative and stuck with it no matter what. Like Iaquinta being dangerous on the feet while getting jabbed a million times.

Rose also said she did very strongly consider calling off the fight due to the stress in that moment but she cooled off with her team and got her head right.

If they did nothing to her why did she slow down as the fight progressed and Joanna was able to start getting into range easier? She wasn't as hurt going into the 5th as I thought she might be, but those leg kicks either did something or Rose just decided to let Joana back into the fight for no reason.

She could have gotten tired from punching Joanna so much. It's not like Rose is known for being a cardio machine. She still moved around well unlike Kattar. It was both things though.

Edit: As she said it's probably not as bad as getting leg kicked by Pat Barry.

Combination of the leg kicks and getting a bit tired I think. She mentioned she felt the movement wasn't really working for her anymore so she stopped it at some point and got a little heavier on her strikes.

Dana was just comparing it to other fighters who seemed to get their leg chewed up during a fight and post fight are on crutches, in a wheelchair or walking with a limp. He said Rose did not appear to have any issues walking and doing her media obligations and when she entered the presser she did not have a visible limp at all.

Except she didn't and she said it hurt her movement. Her movement clearly wasn't as good, but she was still punching effectively in the 5th so it seems more likely that her leg was damaged enough to hamper her vs she was gassed.

the woman who got her leg chopped off by devastating kicks all night was moving significantly better than the woman whose legs had barely been touched all night and is known for having a huge gas tank. watch now as i explain this phenomenon in a forums post.

Leg kicks dont hurt very much and are a waste of time, for the most part. The fighter who spends more energy doing them usually loses each fight

She had big old welts and bruises on her thighs, I bet they hurt. But I didn’t make her walk a tape line backstage wearing those goggles that turn poo poo upside down so I’ll defer to those that did

I think the problem.with Joanna's leg kicks were that they were mostly landing with her foot slapping Roses leg. To get the effect desired on people who really get hosed up by leg kicks you need to have your shin bone digging into that leg meat. Otherwise when the top of your foot is just slapping the leg it's going to create a bunch of redness around the area it hit but not like deep tissue damage like we've seen in other fights where leg kicks have played a bigger factor.

'Why did Rose slow down and let her opponent back into the fight' is a question best answered by watching Rose's previous fights, where she does this repeatedly for no real reason. She's a front-runner.

i kinda think you can argue that khabib has lost a step from all the knee injuries and isn't as quite as monstrous as he was in 14/15 tbh

Back then he would have gotten three 10-8 rounds.

YOLOsubmarine posted:

Khabib looked literally the same as always. He got lit up my Michael Johnson not that long ago.

Which is to say that Johnson landed three punches until he got wrestled so badly he forgot how to stand up and walk, leading to Khabib lighting him up later in the fight.

Lucky that he'd already hit Al so much then.

That's great that she's got such a good team then. That was always her weakness: shitloads of talent and ability, but a propensity for brain farts.

i think i said something about her clinch deficit after the second round. it's glaring. it's lucky that rose's power was, hilariously, sufficient to stop joanna just wading into the plum and killing her.

Nah, Rose finally bought the 'gameplans' DLC and got Youtube to show her how to use it while using a mod to lessen the effects of personal trauma on her fighting style. She's unstoppable now.
