She’s now in that strange purgatory where she won’t be champ again at 115 and the soon to be champ at 125 has already beaten her thrice.
Joanna Young Cray Chick....
Cuz the woman is cray cray...know what I mean?
^^^^THIS!The 49-46 scoring was a bit iffy I thought it was a clear 48-47 with it being 2-2 going into the 5th
If Joanna won that 5th I think she'd have a legit reason to be pissed, but Rose won 1, 2 and 5 pretty clearly.
Exactly. Move for 125 would be best option for JJ, because there isn't much to achieve anymore at SW. I think Rose will be champion for long time because her head movement, reach advantage and understanding of distance is way too much for anyone at SW.
many people want fighters to be more honest. Yet when JJ is brutally honest about her opinion on the fight she is attacked as delusional.
She should pay cormier to yell real champ REAL CHAMP
REAL CHAMPPPPPPP
Can't believe you actually took the time to write this considering the nature of the discussion in this thread so far.
Thanks for bringing a sensible perspective to the table instead of just piling on like the rest.
She's not brutally honest, she's brutally delusional which is why she is attacked as delusional.
I understand why people need confidence in many situations. But humility is actually an extremely powerful mindset as well. It helps people handle outcomes that they hate, look at the facts coldly, and make improvements.
I've heard people defend the kind of delusional confidence displayed by athletes, whether Rousey, who is the most outstanding example of it, to Joanna, to the much smaller recent example of Adesanya. But I believe it makes them weaker as fighters and as people in the long run. A humble person can be confident, but they aren't confident in some sort of inherent superiority, but they instead find confidence in their preparation, in their team, and in their willingness to work and improve.
That said, there's no doubt that overweening confidence brought Joanna and Rousey and others very far. It just seems like at some point it can't get them over that last plateau.
Being brutally honest means making things up about what people said?
I’m a fan of all fightersI can respect and appreciate a fighter for their skill and the entertainment they bring but to be a fan I'd need to like them on a personal level too, but maybe that's just me.
Jones is the best lhw and I'm amazed at his skill but I'm not a fan.
