Rooting for Rose let’s goooo!

Thug Rose! Thug Rose! Thug Rose!

[@bernardocisneros4402]

Thanks for the interview. Always nice to see how the fighters are doing before their fights.

[@ShakMMA]

Appreciate you regularly tuning in! Three more inbound for Edmonton :)

[@alfiashaikh9228]

Rose talks like a professional ❤

[@ShakMMA]

And she's so polite

[@BasedGoddie]

My favorite fighter 💗 hope she gets the title shot.. would hate to see her fight another fave of mine in Shevchenko though

[@ImissGoldie]

❤🔫🇰🇬

[@ShakMMA]

Such a badass match-up of champions though

[@junipersnow1]

Yah Rose !!!!🌹

[@ShakMMA]

Thug Rose! Thug Rose! Thug Rose!

[@PutMeInCoach727]

Rose is an absolute Legend 🫡 hope she can get it done

[@ShakMMA]

Can't help but root for the good guys/girls

[@axelll971]

Rose is a very nice person!

[@theironforce3000]

Did she say she's separated from Trevor Whitman??😮 Crazy, didn't see that coming

[@ShakMMA]

Yeah it's been a while now! Since before the Manon Fiorot fight last year

[@theironforce3000]

@ShakMMA 😯 that flew over my radar

[@ShakMMA]

@@theironforce3000 Crazy right?

[@The_Isaiahnator]

I like Rose's veteran confidence here. She's struggled with self-doubt in the past, so it's nice that she has her head on straight. Erin is already strong-minded, but still relatively inexperienced. This is a nice fight between a crafty vet and a young talent and I'm looking forward to it. I just wish it was five rounds.

[@ShakMMA]

I thought UFC kept it five rounds after moving it from main to co-main?

[@The_Isaiahnator]

@ShakMMA You're right. I just did a search and they're keeping it five rounds. Thanks.

[@ShakMMA]

@@The_Isaiahnator Anytime, friend :)

[@alinahart1239]

Absolutely love this woman. Great stuff here. We need more women like Rose in MMA- talented, beautiful, dignified, intelligent. Such a great role model for women and girls everywhere. Thug Rose!!!

[@Abby1Blu2]

Shak should keep this format going. Your show is cool. You get the fighters to open up to your respectful questions.

[@estrate_live3213]

Rose in her IG live after the Manon fight stated that she left the team because of Justin Gaethje. They are also not following each other on Instagram anymore.

[@scottfreckle237]

OH wow, tragic, imagine not following someone on social media, what a world we live in where that even matters to anyone

[@estrate_live3213]

@@scottfreckle237 it matters if they used to follow each other in the past.

[@crazypato3752]

Why?? Did they start catching feelings for each other ?

[@estrate_live3213]

@@crazypato3752 No. It was because Gaethje implied that he lost to olivera because of Rose's performance against Carla. There's more to that like Trevor moving his gym and Gaethje having his BMF fight etc. But she did say in her IG live that it had nothing to do with Trevor and everything to do with Gaethje.

[@crazypato3752]

@@estrate_live3213 ohhh I see. I always thought Gaethje and Rose would make a good couple

A+ personality

[@whypullout]

Manon defeats Valentina by split decision. Thus Rose v Manon rematch. Or...Valentina submits Manon since she can't stand with better punchers (Grasso, Nunes). Then we get Rose v Valentina. I predict Rose as a champ 🤙🏾

[@ImissGoldie]

Your completely wrong Valentina is enjoying herself right now and next year she will be more then prepared to take over France 🇰🇬🔫

[@whypullout]

@ we’ll see when that day comes brotha. Manon might do what Amanda couldn't and what Grasso nearly did and knock her out. Or Valentina will lay and pray for another win if she can get Manon to the ground. Either way, Rose will dethrone her 🌹and become champ

[@AntoineFabri]

Valentina is only losing because she needs more former champs to add on her resume when the rematch comes :D. No need to lose to Rose then, Manon maybe!

[@ImissGoldie]

To all grasso fans Valentina shevchenko is the current #1 P4P w fighter in the world above Jon jones 😂

[@gabegordon2953]

Ok 👌

[@Abby1Blu2]

Can Rose be a fighter and a philosopher. That's a tuff personal conflict. Good show!

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Rose is one of my sportsperson of all-time. A bonafide legend. Thanks for the interview Shakiel, it is much appreciated. 🙂🙏

[@scottfreckle237]

she's a loooooong way from a legend, or you are just very easily pleased

[@ShakMMA]

So glad you liked it! Rose is the best

[@ImissGoldie]

Rooting for thug rose ofc to maybe still a decision if she can keep it standing for the majority of 5 rounds but I’m not confident as rose hasn’t got good tdd and blanchfield will look to take her down and hold her down

[@ShakMMA]

I'm interested to see how their strength measures up

[@sage1d590]

Class fighter. Classy person.

[@MaxMax-r1k]

I think rose has chance of beating Henry cujudo

[@FOURTYFIVERS45]

Rose !!

[@2piecenobisuit763]

I thought rosé wouldn’t fight Val cuz there friends/training partners

[@albertawheat6832]

Rose doesn't want to lose a fight, just yet...cool.

[@MrC8025]

dude, she is no match for Valentina. She would get demolish.

[@Noisycowonline]

Barry really used the 'faith' delusion angle on this poor girl to anchor her into a permanent relationship. I used to do that back in the day. Want a loyal woman in your life? Let an imaginary man in the sky, of course geographically assigned, help you out.

[@elias.v8081]

Faith is not delusional.

[@Howsnoah5]

Rose accidentally shat on my face once but she apologized. We became friends after

[@stephenmarkelov1829]

lol what

[@scottfreckle237]

she improved your looks and personality

[@ShakMMA]

Congrats, this is the most out of pocket comment I've ever had on a video

[@dudesmile2042]

First win against Erin and then we will see, but I think you are not at Valentina's level and she will destroy you.

[@ImissGoldie]

That’s something that we all know but we don’t mention it as were respectfull😂

[@ImissGoldie]

I don’t think she beats Erin tbh her tdd is bad but we all rooting for thug
