[@jaxxrocket1530]

I've been following MMA for over 25 years and I can honestly say Rose is one of my favorite fighters. Great to see her back, should be a great fight.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Amanda and her dad would definitely be justified in suing USADA/the UFC, not just for the twenty months taken from Amanda (9:58 - 11:08), but for the damage in reputation and subsequent loss of business (20:36 - 21:09). I wonder if the UFC would have the grace to not only pay for the damages incurred, but to keep Amanda as a fighter if she goes the litigious route. Most people are afraid to stand up to powerful entities because, even if they're successful in getting justice, they'll be cast out and never again allowed to do business with those entities or their affiliates.

[@bjkapz]

For what? She literally had Ostarine in her system, it was pre UFC so she most like was [is] juicing.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

@@bjkapz I'm just going by what she said regarding USADA admitting to making a mistake.

[@bjkapz]

She said she found Clenbuterol in her 'supplements' too, and that USADA did nothing about that.. so she essentially admitted to cheating and forced USADA's hand with their 'mistake'.

[@robertsothmann8110]

@@bjkapz yet USADA admitted that they mistested. You only read the first headline and not the retraction? They do make these mistakes sometimes, and sometimes it's normal supplements (see Anthony Johnson and Yoel Romero.).

Rose used to have Justin Gaethje and Kamaru Usman as training partners. Such a shame Pat Barry couldn't step aside and let Trevor Wittman be Rose's head coach.

[@mra3662]

Six years ago, I stumbled upon Rose, which sparked my interest in MMA despite my initial lack of knowledge about martial arts. Without her, I wouldn't have delved into this sport. Watching her over the years has been immensely gratifying, and it's contributed to my personal growth. Meeting her and Pat a few years ago was a dream come true; they're both truly remarkable individuals. Meeting my hero was an unforgettable experience, and Rose exceeded all my expectations.

[@cornell833]

She Will not win come Saturday 🤞

[@MatthewsPick]

Rose had her chance and blew it I rather see ribas continue to prove USDA wrong.

[@MatthewsPick]

Rose had the 2nd most boring fight in history in a division where you should be able to through head kicks all day.

[@tylerj6024]

Idk man, I was a huge fan but really her good wins have all been discredited other than Joanna. She knocked out Joanna then got a decision against her than gets slammed unconscious by a journey woman Andrade. Then beats her (by split) Super lucky ko on zhang Weili. Loses to Weili the next match but gets a bs split decision win. Then loses two of the most boring fights ever, one defending her title against Esparza who was dominated by Weili then Weili KOs Joanna who she took to decision in her rematch. She tricked a lot of us into thinking she was a knockout artist with super slick striking when in reality she’s had 2 knockouts in 10 years. Got to let the bias go and realize she is overrated and had two lucky knockouts against two super high level fighters. I’m convinced they are flukes and she loses to Ribas or gets a super boring decision

[@blumpkinspicelatte4580]

A legend in your own mind.

Wonder who’s call or decision that was tho? 🤔

[@vhsquality]

Her juices started flowing for Trevor and Pat didn't like that.

[@zeaferjones1404]

Rose was already a great striker because of Duke Roufus although more of an Anthony Pettis style. Her boxing got better with Whitman but I think she needs a wrestling coach if anything because she doesn't really have one.
