My friend works at vitamin cottage and when Rose comes in everyone there gets so excited and everyone say she is so sweet, one time Duane Ludwig saved a choking person in the store

[@e46_ggg]

She is looking more like Pat Barry each day 😂😂

[@junipersnow1]

Sounds like him too, "Well, dont really matter if I win, no coaches are pushing me to may Max" , "pretty much fighting for a farm" which is fine.... Just, Most fighters who start Banging there coaches seem to Drop off in skill and motivation... Worked for Rose most of the time, but Aspen Ladd is a good example

[@Jeremyramone]

Too soon....🛹

@@junipersnow1 she went down hill when Pat ran off Trevor.

[@junipersnow1]

@@truthseeker2222 Wow, thought maybe he still trains her, but Prob. not. Cortez isn't even ranked, shes coming to get Roses #4 spot. Pat "the champion wrecker" Barry lol

[@The_Isaiahnator]

This will be Rose's third fight in less than a year. I'm happy to see so much activity from her, because prior to this, she fought roughly once a year for several years. And I can see a healthier glow in her skin in these pre-fight interviews. I'm sure the easier weight cut accounts for both.

[@mikemichaels2914]

Pat Barry perrin through the Window 😂😂🤣🤣

[@user-br5rz4cb3f]

Right or wrong , he seems a bit controlling and freaky , perhaps insecure as well... Using her career for his own validation... at the risk of her future success... Hope he / she , lets Trevor back to Head coach so she can get back to her greatness...

[@asharpbrotha4324]

I read that and literally laughed out loud 😂😂😂😂 I hope your joking man but I'm about to skip through this interview and see if ur being legit 🤣

I haven't watched yet but im gonna guess that Pat makes it into the camera shot AT LEAST 3 times

Rose underestimating Tracey

Let’s go Cortez!!!

[@rocker2009s]

Love watching you…

[@VenerableNut]

Rose’s pace is on turtle speed without Trevor. She doesn’t look strong in grappling exchanges and she doesn’t possess ko power at 125. Hard to see her get the w against Tracy… Taking Tracy by decision, especially if she’s able to wet blanket Rose most of the fight. Forget championship experience, Rose doesn’t want it.

[@YitroBenAvraham]

Does Tracy really want to win, or does she just really really like attention?

Legend!

[@suavesenor]

Tracy’s top game lol

[@user-br5rz4cb3f]

Bring back Trevor please ! I'm sure Pat his skills , but shes jeopardizing her future success going only with Pat . He must have a huge ego , or lacks self examination to not realize he isn't the best for Rose and her aspirations...

[@IshyVideos]

She was so damn hot with long hair. I hate Pat Barry with a passion

[@user-br5rz4cb3f]

Pat needs to get a hobby or a job , other than trying to control rose and ruining her career... And , you're right , she was so lovely and still a bad ass with her long hair... Get Trevor back , and fulfill your destiny Rose...

[@alainncaileag5692]

She shaved her head for herself - because Paige Vanzant cowerd from shaving her head for cancer charity. Rose said she wanted to shave it for the longest time, and claimed she didn’t want to be recognised for being ‘pretty’ but for her talent. Grow the F up and quit being triggered by a buzzcut.

[@penelopeplods8886]

I love how respectful Rose is to other fighters

[@PrimeTonysElbows]

I only want to hear from Pat Berry.

[@73searay]

I like Rose but I watched the last 1 or 2 fights of Tracey's and she shouldn't be underestimated. She has good fast combos with hard head accuracy. Rose needs to take advantage of when she fixes her shorts alot I noticed. Lol but seriously.

[@TOMMIETR7]

thug rose!!! :)

[@gabrielszarose5640]

Cortez is hungrier + wants the win more her fight camp time is a disavantage but her drive is much more stronger she's also undefeated.

she was already in camp for the following week 😂
