[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

@Dmmck good to see you guys pointing this out. Her comments were uncalled for I think. She herself has even said that "We don't know what Zhang believes". But why would she even say that stuff in the first place? Thing is she still hasn't even apologized for it and she probably should. She arguably set off the unwelcoming reaction from the audience at the event towards Zhang. That in itself could probably give you some idea of why it isn't the general consensus. Also other things like certain media outlets spinning the narrative that "EVERYONE LOVES ROSE". Particularly on DC and Helwani's show. Not advocating for people to hate her or harass her or bully her. But it seems like she's being celebrated and loved and adored despite, maybe even for questionable and/or objectionable behavior.

As an X white belt taekwondo practitioner I'm v.surprised people are surprised by Roses kick it was my most practiced kick- look low start the leg like your going low and switch up high .....I have practiced that on a bag a 1000 times So good to finally see it used effectively Congratulations Rose 🌹

[@joecavy7869]

Try it on a world class bag that kicks back.

[@thewritefont9708]

it's a very basic kick and Zhang was careless and naive to fall for it. but props to Rose for perfect execution and her great reach helps a lot.

@@joecavy7869 in what part of that did I say I was of a world class standard I started by saying X white belt lol ....my point is I'm surprised people are surprised by that kick, go watch taekwondo style kicks 'you' paint a picture with your feet to confuse and strike. beautifully executed by Rose

[@joecavy7869]

@@popsbubbles1242 I meant Zhang, I know what a 'white belt' is! Rose pulled it of on a (supposed) world class defender of such 'basic kicks'...

[@ejoshcoron]

21:09 I'm happy to hear her say that about Andrade because she really seems like a sweet person, and I've never got to see what the dynamic between them is
