[@TheBigKing0]

0:12 that side eye. Fierce

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

yup

[@JW-qr2tt]

Looked like shim was about to cry.

[@TheOmar291992]

Isnt it like offensive that the woman told her she had a silly expression? (im foreign)

[@RubenBJJ96]

"I'm the best in the world" She really meant that. That's real emotion

[@1setten]

lul but she isnt :PpPP? thats JJ? :PpPPp am i wrong? :PPpPp

[@Nenirama]

wtf is :PpPPPppP this LOL

[@bohne1978]

PpPP? thats JJ? :PpPPp am i wrong? :PPpPp

[@teneightyp188]

Ruben Toder agree that was beautiful.

[@LiLPicantee]

No. She's trying to make herself believe it. It seemed more as if she was telling herself that she's the best instead of answering her question.

[@jamesmckendry2247]

Watching Rose this past week I honestly wanna see her pull it off... She deserves this...

[@blake9742]

I like roses style and she has a good spirit. She hasn’t let money or publicity spoil her.

[@davebro5920]

Blake Bellecourt what money?

[@MOUTHOFTHEAPE]

courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.

[@nickm8874]

That switch to “I’m the best in the world” gives me chills every time I watch it.

[@ORYK-]

SAME

[@1234and.]

I love it. Also because the question seemed wanting to expose some insecurity from her and she felt it immediately. She was laughing about her dog tearing up a little and in one sec , dead cold eyes, killer face: "I'm the best in the world". EPIC

[@markjackson4085]

I would not want to fight anyone who thinks fighting is spiritual.

[@natalynunezmedina980]

Rose proved why martial arts exists.. great fight tonight. she looked killa

[@jameslopez3354]

lets go rose win this fight even if she has mental problems or anexity she is a good person and a great fighter:)

[@hardcoremma7894]

Nothin against Joanna but I want Rose to win so bad.

[@igorsemedo1225]

Me too. Joanna pretends to be humble but she is not. Rose looks so emotional and she needs to leave all the distraction feelings outside of the octagon.

[@CodyS777-oc8vs]

Rose is annoying and fake af

[@zeaferjones1404]

Bullshit This video doesn't show Rose is soft. Joanna is the one that is getting upset and ranting Rose is in her head.

[@QueefJuiceOverflow]

she knocked the taste out that grimlin's mouth

[@reginaldharrison5817]

CodyS777 believe in yourself shorty #THUGROSE

[@johnsurf509]

I want Rose to win!!!!

[@leward]

People should wish to have passion that intense.

[@ReTethered]

Majority of the MMA world was against her so she probably felt that it was only her and her team AND to see her win in such a dominant fashion..........................................................damn it who's cutting onions!?!?

[@ORYK-]

She knows her fans love her.

[@lanznoir2251]

Secretly want her to win.

[@ChuckyErLaw]

openly want her to win

[@VitalYFZ]

Yeah I hope she pulls off an upset.

[@jlang7705]

I want Rose to win, but I don't think she has a chance.

[@jordanthomson3031]

Stigolas Artem "the worse record" Lobov, is a filthy animal. Your right he is a goat...

[@Theodolphe]

It's not a secret anymore, is it?

[@j-fit677]

"THUG LIFE BABY!"

[@JuanBetto.]

I just want to hug her so badly

[@everyonesaboxingexpertappl5717]

I'm the best in the world SHE IS NOW

[@williamdye1804]

And she did it again!

[@quicksilver6025]

good luck rose

[@marcusdavidson5776]

She is right cause she showed it, she dominated the blabla champion Joanna

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

I think Rose is selling this card better then anyone, and she does not even have to say much!

[@sceanlyonz4571]

And New!!!!!!

[@ko0lGuy23]

She might be cracking under the pressure. We all been there where we cry from sheer weight on top of us. Hopefully she shines bright tomorrow. Let's go rose 🌹 i would be crying too.

[@johnsurf509]

Wow I saw Rose when she first step into the UFC Its kinda cool to actually see her grow into the best in the world

[@87mjung]

Here after she knocked out Weili. What a phenomenal performance yet again.

[@edwinkim5695]

"I'm the Best in the World" Thug Rose Namajunas

[@valentinabulletinyoassshev4703]

I train with thug Rose wouldn't be surprised if she beat JJ she definitely have the tools to do so!

[@ArcaninHD]

Lmao

[@44SuperShredder]

And New

[@SoundwormBite]

Wow, i freaking loved this.

[@blockingnegro5679]

We all have struggles life is isn't perfect but I can't help but feel for rose..

[@FRVNVHI3]

“ I am the best in the world” affirmations!

[@vicdman9577]

"fighting is something spiritual. "

[@alexdacruz2403]

I don’t know much about these two woman but this Rose character wears her heart on her sleeve if I were her opponent I would be saying a prayer

[@pinkbug8u]

She started crying when Black started asking her to talk about the feeling of freedom she feels in a fight. She's such a beautiful soul. Her and Geautje taps into that flow state. All the greats do.

[@Kiryutka22]

Go Rose! ! !

[@tamikaventez4151]

I really want her to win.😎 🌹

[@tonymontanaorlando5481]

Savanna Jaymes 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tamikaventez4151]

Aaaand the new!!!! Yeees!!!!!

[@PAULEYBOY84]

I'm not even playing.......... I'm in love with thug 🌹.

[@anorthernsoul4164]

To be a the top of your sport man it emotional very emotional, bang tidy!!!

[@jpai1411]

Great personality

[@megatjurasminshahmegatshah6483]

i luv u rose😍😍😍

[@ezyedz6854]

She's the new champ

[@DJayAce4]

"I'm the best in the world", she knew it was her time to be the champ. Probably why she was getting emotional. I love her answers, I love her energy and vibe. Truly inspirational.

[@Klarka1125]

All The Best !

[@magneisuemwinterjuice7810]

Damn Joanna really does sense that Rose is going through something emotionally. Whether it will make her crack or empower her is what I'm wondering.

[@zeaferjones1404]

Lets Go Thug Rose!!!!!!

[@orginaleinstein]

damnnnn rose is amazing this was great!

[@HardRockMiner]

The force is strong in this one.

[@batman1796]

Damn, got goosebumps👍, rose namajunas is awesome

[@buildinit6523]

I LOVE THIS HUMAN BEING...............ALL WRAPPED UP IN ONE SOUL

[@jessegandy7039]

I don't know what to make of this. Either Rose is mentally tough and nothing phases her, or that's a front and she's really sensitive and insecure.

[@maryf720]

Jesse Gandy I think it's a front. If she was so mentally unphased it'd be no problem exchanging with Joanna and stepping up at the staredowns and media conferences, it's almost like she can't handle it and so just isn't saying anything and trying not to show emotion at all.

[@dAda313]

learn some body language - look at that eye @ 00:12

[@magneisuemwinterjuice7810]

Shes tearing up so clearly something is phasing her but it may only help drive her during the fight who knows. Joanna has noticed this weakness in her though and called her out on it.

[@XangoFwet]

Lmaoooo the Internet psychologists are all over the comment section here

[@FindMe04]

Jesse Gandy She's insecure about herself a little bit. Not everyone is unafraid like Joanna.

[@RickyJSports]

She reminds me of the girl from Stranger Things lol

[@MrCheeseface1000]

Ricky J Sports Gotta love RJ Sports! Peace brother

[@AnthonyDavidsound]

Damn. Too much, too soon. Lets see if magic happens. Shes gonna need it.

[@livingthehardlife]

Question about the dog got her emotional.

[@Jeni_Goci]

bitches do that

[@tim9453]

is she about to cry?

[@ORYK-]

Yah because she KNEW she is the best in the world!

[@quantiquefilms]

This girl is gold.

[@squizill]

She should play that song "I'm a little unstable" during walk out

[@antoniobridgeforth2362]

Such a beautiful spirit

[@VictorBatchelder]

#1 in the world!

[@javaman1570]

"And forgive those that trespass against us"-Rose thug.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Reminds me of that bar scene from _The Book Of Eli_ when Denzel recited some scripture before wreaking absolute havoc. I hope that's what Rose will do.

[@hkarim9648]

We all go crazy sometimes.. I screamed in the bathroom for no reason this morning

[@nichyd7740]

Why did she all of a sudden say “I’m the best in the world” it had nothing to do with her question. I think she was telling herself that to stop getting emotional and not let her demons get to her...

[@phantomm6134]

she was ask what she was thinking.

[@dodiewilson24]

Man I really hope Rose pull it off... that white girl chill af

[@everyonesaboxingexpertappl5717]

I've always loved jj but I can't help liking rose I'm now torn between them

[@davone720]

I love Rose because she is staying true to who she is and being herself!! Hope she submits Joanna

[@Jeni_Goci]

Joanna is gonna have her way with her, suplex city - elbow town - knees in the groin plus a free broken nose/jaw/hand

[@rmishlove1]

Get that belt sweetheart..

[@dragos5300]

GO ROSE, GO ROSE, GO ROSE !!!!

[@hatkins02]

Powerful

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

Caroline stared studering when she seen Rose break out in intensity and emotion!!!! Man Rose got me thinking she can actually Take The Back of JJ and choke her the Fook OUT!!!

[@Francisah]

Rose looks like she’s gonna cry. Go Joanna!

[@EdSmith313]

To paraphrase Conor: she's gonna break.

[@sootiro1530]

Rose is like a delicious slow cooked chicken getting fed to the lion ( joanna )

[@markuschelios6891]

Joanna is like a dried out turkey headed for the waste bin.

[@SK-kp2qq]

Lol here before zhang and rose

[@neo3139]

fighting is spiritual? damn those imposters that told me its physical!

[@user-yr4vp1jk7j]

what a girl!!

[@heartzofmen27]

Are personality makes her even hotter

[@araag.4257]

I love Muay Thai and BJJ, so I'm really torn between Joanna and Rose, may the best/luckiest tonight win haha.

[@bambangwidiatmoko1053]

she cried, so emotional. thats is so dangerous before a 5 round fight.

[@shazrylhakeemy8972]

Roseeeeeeeeeeeee 😍

[@milfshake6969]

want her to win so badly

[@joshuaprouty8139]

She has the expression of a Terminator.

[@LegendViper96]

Rose via Cheick Kongo KO Pat Barry

[@kaloshilo]

Thug could be an action movie star for something like Alien.

[@netunors]

good luck Rose.

[@edisonsun21c]

she gon get it on with pat tonight, u can see it in her eyes!

[@Jeni_Goci]

I'm not feeling Pat and Rose....they don't seem like a healthy couple

[@jacval01]

does pat beat her ?

[@heliod.junior9488]

Choram as rosas

[@celticjay2306]

Rose is stone. Tough fight. Idk who to root for

[@fleshvehicle9140]

rose will win by submission

[@sneesus98]

jean yus What if she doesn't?

[@tallswats22]

jean that was a close guess but it was a knocked out lol

[@nessnake123]

i predict rose winning by ko

[@mistericeberggg3677]

She is thinking " did i buy the ticket ? , am i believe in ?" haha thug rose ths best

[@payneicecold3000]

Joanna broke down another fighter. Next she is going to beat her up. After that Rose will give her loser speech.

[@QueefJuiceOverflow]

ha

[@Canelo_gbr]

QueefJuiceOverflow ha

[@ardahan4ever]

ha

[@michaelg8502]

Wow she is way too emotional. Honestly, it really does look like she is doubting herself. But then again she is going against arguably one of the greatest female fighters of all time. ☝️

[@KORNEWARRIOR]

Rose will win.

[@jordanthomson3031]

I agree, by decision or submission

[@Jeni_Goci]

lol

[@jordanthomson3031]

Jeni Goci go out there and be myself... True champ talk...

[@sneesus98]

Jordan Thomson how could she win by decision unless most of the fight was her dominating Joanna on the ground. She definitely doesn't have the stand up to even come close to JJ

[@krzysieklesnymikunda4534]

in checkers!

[@willman8200]

looks like a young eminem

[@the.shotgun.approach]

willman lol

[@elmoblatch9787]

All that tough talk from Rose came crashing down on her. Joanna destroyed her mentally and physically.

[@RollinRocker]

She looks too emotional here....she just needs to relax and focus on the fight.

[@the701squad]

rose looks ready to snap

[@JuanLuna-ht6em]

I kinda feel sorry for her. Hope she wins.

[@alithegreatest7388]

Rose by tap out

[@meecrob1261]

Joanna should be worried. This girl is very unstable.

[@meecrob1261]

Kinda feel sorry for her She seems super messed up

[@jordanthomson3031]

It's funny people who are unstable actually call out people who are extremely comfortable in their own skin!!!

[@jlang7705]

She seems very messed up - which means, her mind is not clear to fight - her emotions are unstable - not a good combination against Joanna

[@raww999]

i dont know ,when someone cry's and says i'm the best in the world.That seems like major confidence to me.

[@meecrob1261]

It was just odd. Would be amazing if she beats Joanna.

[@MMKLYH]

Feel sorry for pat Barry

[@jeffreyeickhoff591]

I think Joanna is in her head big time. We'll see tonight

[@eon001]

"She gon cry in tha car"
