From the start of the second round if thats a better way of putting it. I expected Rose to do well early most top fighters do vs her. Andrade lost R1 to Gadelha and Tecia. Thats a pattern.And what pattern in rd 1 did you see? I saw andrade taking a massive beating and having little to no success striking. She barely landed a punch.
She even got her throw countered and almost got armbared
None of what you said happened in the first rd.
It was completely lopsided.
But as soon as the second round started Andrade was coming forward and Rose was having to back up a lot, getting hit to the body and legs (I was concerned Andrade would just head hunt) and her overall footwork and plan was coming apart. Thats an incredibly tiring style of fight for her and the kind that will gas you if you don't have great cardio, which she doesn't.
Honestly just annoyed I didn't slam Andrade harder after R1 but was on a slight time delay and the slam cut me off. I'll rewatch but pretty early in the second round I was very confident in Andrade winning.
