Didnt Rose fight Manon? heck Manon could even fight at 135 she's big for flyweight.

[@nutmegriot209]

Rose didn’t beat Manon though. She also struggles with elite wrestlers & Tracy is bigger/stronger than Carla was

Roses punches are just gonna sting Tracy, not rock her bad. Amanda ribas who’s an undersized flyweight was eating rose’s punches. I have Tracy by decision UD

@@justinjasper03 That’s mma math. Rose beat Amanda ribas who is 2-4 in flyweight division with one of those wins being Paige vanzant. Tracy also has a win over Jasmine jasudaviciuous who beat Miranda…Who technically beat Maycee….who knocked out Amanda ribas who rose couldn’t..Since we’re using mma math.

Valentina , I guess thinks its not fair to her that Grasso gets to have such an obviously overwhelming level of support , more than bladt year even ? Can't believe that Alexa hasn't defended her belt in so long . UfC needs to get a minimum amount of degrnsives yearly or something.. Figjters holding up fighters and gans both... Ilia is another one , O'Malley... Alex Perera needs to shame them all in to action...

[@seyiekire4357]

She is hot❤

[@mikemichaels2914]

Damn Brian and Secret Juice are lucky Men

[@Noisycowonline]

Rose will piece her up, but it won't hurt Tracy as a pro. The UFC really supports fighters who come in on short notice. Rose is a Denver native as won't be winded in the 4th and 5th like Tracy.

[@edwardkelly3280]

Rose trains in Denver she's a Milwaukee native

[@penelopeplods8886]

Let's go Tracy!!!

[@user-br5rz4cb3f]

Her fighting and mindset are het best traits ... looks great for the isa , but go to latin America and she'd just be one of many... I hope both girls are ready for the elevation...

[@wilykat]

If she beats Rose then the ufc should book Cortez vs Barber for title contention.

the woman who has nothing to be insecure about and has her head shaved, you dont see her wearing makeup or trying to cover her insecurities. vs the woman who wears makeup, makes her hair look beautiful and has fake eyelashes. who wins? obviously the one with more focus. rose will beat her.

[@werightnow]

Who told these women in 2024 that fake eyelashes are attractive ??
