[@DjTherapy]

Looks like Rose has found her Zen, and an emotional balance. All the best for both fighters.

[@dinitis]

Rose is my type of woman.

[@tongpo5966]

Lesbian type?

[@ryry502]

I like her too

[@telefunkenyou47]

dinitis - The 10 year old boy or his hairless little sister type?

[@j-fit677]

Get in line

[@marcillioficino4663]

Tong Po -- Ha ha ha ha...

[@gabriellaskey6798]

She cracked a lot more then her code...

[@iphone202020220]

Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Rose Namajunas two of my favorite female mma fighters.

[@MmaSmarty87]

Been a fan of Thug Rose since her Invicta days, plus she's from the Twin Cities like myself so I gotta root for the Home Team

[@pictishgaming3812]

I like root beer too.

[@marcillioficino4663]

A bit harsh there James... just making it to the UFC, is a major accomplishment in my book.

[@SkinnyBillySkaterComedy]

Gotta Throw Cynthia Cavillo in there as well!!!!

[@wadopotato33]

Correction. She is the Champ now. :)

[@Papi_Oso]

Rose in s such a cutie pie..

[@dana1853]

Agreed

[@georgebyworth8578]

Good feeling Rose wins ,she is perfect. Love the silent mind.

[@araag.4257]

As much as I like her, I have to admit that Johana is still on another level.

[@Hazeltorn]

Yep. On the floor.

[@kristynmendoza293]

+Haazeel Torn lmao

[@georgebyworth8578]

Haazeel Torn far too good.don't cry,303

[@georgebyworth8578]

kristyn Mendoza 😆

[@EMAZINGERICTV]

I like Rose and hope she does well but JJ is a BEAST! Going to be tough for Rose to crack that code inside the Octagon.

[@ciskopike6723]

EMAZING ERIC SPORTS JJ is an enigma as far as codes go and I can't see Rose cracking it.

[@charmedangel3]

Hi Eric! I laughed when she said they predicted JJ behavior - there was no prediction cause JJ is being her normal self and nothing new. I am still going with JJ but not counting Rose out.

[@EMAZINGERICTV]

Agreed that code is almost uncrackable lol

[@EMAZINGERICTV]

Yes! VERY hard to crack those eggs! lol

[@ldavis5734]

Cracking the code without getting cracked...lol

[@derekc8629]

She's very pretty!! Wow rose

[@ipineiro]

Damn, I'm in love with Rose.

[@jnmwtkns]

Ignacio Piñeiro thats just lust!!! I saw her first! Lol so beat it!

[@murziusrokas]

[@timjay5930]

[@sagatbalrog]

[@TAG-rq7ii]

Lithuanian bruh ;D

[@Greivous429]

[@masrr3678]

sagatbalrog I agree 7.5 with hair tho

[@johancruijjf280]

I like her. .end off the day...its all about been a good persoon and she is and she is a rolmodel for all the children🙏

[@elliot3200]

she has that impeccable beauty. she would be one helluva hollywood actress...

[@alexandercrush]

My picks: GSP By Submission Cody by TKO Joanna by Decision

[@devonstrachan3658]

Seems legit

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Well, one of your picks was right.

[@cmacbrown]

Have a feeling rose is gonna pull off the upset

[@shozter7390]

cmac brown Correct feeling 👍🌷

[@stephaniealvarez1679]

Rose is freaking gorgeous!

[@shozter7390]

TheMrmoc7 🌷👏👏👏👏👏

[@Patizm]

I knew she reminded me of Neo, from the first Matrix movie... All the cracking the code and stuff 😂

[@hisdudeness4537]

Lmao

[@The_Isaiahnator]

She fights like him, too.

[@TheJking85]

Rose is going to win. And the UFC will market her far better than they can market Joanna and Rousey!

[@shozter7390]

TheJking85 🌷👏👏👏👏👏

[@shalomshalom2912]

ROSE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.

[@shozter7390]

Shalom Shalom 🌷👏👏👏👏👏

[@danb7601]

Unless Rose has made some dramatic improvements she could lose this fight in the clinch similar to how she lost against Karolina

[@maryf720]

I see it being much more one sided than Karolina vs Rose. Rose was a better distance striker than Karolina, she was more accurate and sharp, but got annihilated in the clinch. I see Joanna beating Rose in every area, but Rose should be able to pick some clean shots throughout the fight.

[@FatherofFFD]

Rose is a very evolved fighter since Karolina. Some fighters do grow from losses & there's nothing about her performances since to make me question her growth. Plus, I believe she has the right mix of assets/skills to beat JJ by giving her a very difficult time. I pick Rose to win.

[@tornoutlaw]

I totally think Rose would have won that fight if she'd avoided the clinch. It was a tactical error on her part. Unfortunatly, she will lose against JJ anywhere, unless she surprises her with something. Flying armbar for the win ;)

[@ellerellerek52]

She went for a clinch with KK because of her favorite back taking and choking, big mistake and if she tries the same with JJ she'll eat a lot of elbows.

[@vernlaw]

People forget that she was the main sparring partner for The last two of Valentina’s camps and Valentina probably has the best clinch game out of the 35ers. So I’m sure rose has picked up a thing or two

[@gctdonyre]

She not only cracked the code, she cracked Joanna at UFC 217.

[@x32i77]

taped like chicken

[@yunggotti7630]

She's so chill and laid back

[@rong2912]

I love Rose, she's cool as hell.

[@bulllea]

she is hot as hell .

[@arlyfame1642]

She seems so humble❤️

[@mikecalhoun4314]

She's sooooo beautiful

[@x32i77]

she is indeed

[@intas08]

Rose is everybody's type of woman, opposite to Joanna who looks like a rat and acts like a rat. I pray for Rose's victory !!!!

[@irishmancheckinin6540]

how does a rat "act" exactly?

[@intas08]

running, in this case after bullying...tapping...Rose is beautiful human being and the real warrior !!!

[@boliussa]

+intas08 I don't think Joanna tapped. www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/ufc/657605/UFC-217-Joanna-Jedrzejcyzk-Rose-Namajunas-Madison-Square-Garden-New-York Joanna agrees with the stoppage though. She said she was out. Maybe her arm reacted in a way that seemed like a tap. She said herself it was weird that her body did that. People don't generally tap to strikes especially not a gritty hungry eastern european girl like that.

[@danielsakyi4721]

intas08 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@xH0R0R]

Rose ‘catch me outside how bow dat’ namajunes

[@dondraper4438]

xH0R0R I'd wait out side with a bouquet of roses.

[@cobra7282]

Rose is far more intelligent than that “catch me outside” chick. Not even in the same stratosphere.

[@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg]

Cats meet outside how bout dat?

[@JCruz-ik2yw]

Namajunas*

[@JCruz-ik2yw]

Lol the title says her name smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@samcruiz]

[@alperenarguden8694]

she is so beautiful

[@Leg3ndKilla687]

I feel blessed she graced us with a piano session. It was beautiful

[@lukemeacham1282]

"I'll find out though." Spoken with 100% confidence.

[@mrcapebreton6816]

Looking forward to this fight! I love both fighters . No prediction for me on this one.

[@josecavazos1869]

this girl is so inspirational. i hope I get to meet her one day, it would a blessing.

[@everythingisaprocess]

She cracked it

[@MegaScorpio43]

Wow! Rose is beautiful even without the hair...awesome that she can fight good too. Also I think Rose will win this.

[@shozter7390]

Steve austin Yes!

[@ToDaMaxxx]

GREATEST CHAMPION THERE EVER WAS🤩🤩🤩💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stevena9231]

She's been right thus far and she seems more composed than any of Joanas other opponents this should be a great fight.

[@shozter7390]

its me It was.

[@gururajms]

Congrats Rose. Love her demeanor right now and even after knocking Joanna out cold. I guess it's all from her meditation and training. Have a great year end and 2018, Rose. Enjoy your belt.

[@brooklynwayne8363]

One of the best MMA interviews ever, the host was on point.

[@T4ylor331]

YES 👏🏻🌹

[@BobbyBoucher41]

Rosa and Joanna are my two favorite fighters in the strawweight division. I honestly hope rosa wins it'll be good to see her come all the way from TUF to winning the championship.

[@JLPuffums]

Scared me for a second... thought they were gonna throw letters at me the whole time.

[@samanthawilliamson7433]

Rose is underestimated she keeps herself very calm and composed I can see her taking this one.

[@shozter7390]

Samantha Williamson 🌷👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@samanthawilliamson7433]

Yea I thought Rose had this one, Joanna seemed really intimidated underneath all her antics, n being that her last couple of fights had gone to decision almost like shes out of her prime now to me anyway but Im no expert just what I see in my opinion. 👍

[@marentes133]

Not only did she crack her code but also her chin!

[@jonasrudzinaitis3396]

it was too easy for Rose... calmness won vs bullying, the good guys triumphs not only in the films !!! the world have hope :D

[@java4656]

According to BT, "That ain't goin' happen" is the same caption as "That won't happen"

[@excellinkus]

Rose is beautiful

[@guesswho8016]

Rose is so Adorable😍😙

Joanna Jedrzejczyk: I got a surprise... I will TAP

[@texieratexiera218]

ALN ⚘champion well deserved

[@jaybee8581]

Good for Rose to learn how social media can stuff up your preparation for a fight. Social media has gone overboard in lots of ways, So Rose can do her talking in the ring. Like a breath of fresh air :)

[@shozter7390]

Jay Bee 🌷

[@bamafan4102]

This woman has given me a reason to watch female fighters. I love her cool demeanor. She is very genuine and down to earth. I forgot to mention beautiful too.

[@shozter7390]

Bama Fan 🌷

[@charlottefawcett6614]

Rose is the real martial artist, humble ,respectful, focused, technical and zen.

[@mikeholmes7184]

Love how she looks in the moment, I mean just relax and let it happen. I wish that I knew more about her. Love turn the heat and be calm. I have a new fighter to know

[@michaellmontenegro5742]

Glad she won. Joanna needed humble pie.

[@ELVIS1975T]

We now see that she was not bullshitting.

[@djnr8commongroundent]

Sounds like she's in the zone

[@shozter7390]

Toi Juan Selyer She was.

[@marythomas3808]

i am SO FRUSTRATED THAT november 4th is taking forever to get here!!!!

[@shozter7390]

mary thomas It was worth the wait.

[@marythomas3808]

lol

[@tonykari5124]

she's naturally pretty. she cracked the code BTW. .. I'd like to " crack " her code

[@garycheshire900]

Does anybody have a link to the film of the scissor session they enjoyed after this?

[@jorhay1]

People attribute some kind of magical power to JJ. She has never faced a decent counter striker at strawweight I’m not sure that Rose is that fighter, but a good counter striker like Shevchenko, who beat JJ three times, would make easy work of an aggressive, offensive style like JJ, and if they connect, JJ’s TD defense will be irrelevant. Even KK put JJ on her back.

[@hisdudeness4537]

Love that Pimp GSP pfp

[@blazinchalice]

Great interview! Props to both women. Rose is ready to go!

[@shozter7390]

round about midnight 🌷

[@KingWillie76]

And she did crack the code.

[@yazgeb85]

Code cracked 🎲

[@autismintensifies8793]

Claudia Gadelha dominated JJ for two rounds prior to gassing out and losing rounds 3-5. A dominant grappler like Claudia, but with better cardio and better submissions, can beat JJ.

[@hennesseygoting9403]

Poopius Butticus none other than valentina chevchenko in 125 division

[@soulg1969]

Is it necessary to block the screen every 2 seconds with the very words one is listening to?

[@ramonvargas6865]

This is definetely her toughest fight yet, Joanna is the best striker in 115lb, good chin, best takedown defense in her division, cardio for days, smooth, fast paced, great composure and has faced all top 5 contenders in her division. Rose, well....ground game would be the only way she can win or by striking point distance.

[@shozter7390]

Ramon.V LOL...

[@shozter7390]

Ramon.V Expert, aren't we?

[@TutorialesLexy]

I LOVE HER, TOTALLY SHES GREAT

[@elite_videos2773]

[@roddel3037]

She just cracked the code by knocking out Joanna. THE NEW STRAW WEIGHT CHAMPION.
