This is hands down one of the most entertaining fights ive ever watched. They kept the same pace until the fight was over. Both very technical strikers. Throwing 3-4 punch combos ending them with kicks... Just all around great fight.
This is the best women's MMA fight of all time by a country mile and deserves meaningful consideration as one of the greatest fights of all time period. The pace and stamina not to mention the chins on display for all five rounds was just insane.
I remember watching this live. And thinking to myself, "Aren't they tired?". They are both monsters with incredible skill and will. Imagine training and throwing punches as hard as they were for 8 mins straight.
Actually this shows just how precise Rose’s striking was that she knocked *both* of these girls out with single shots. The timing and precision... WHAT A WAR this was...
Rose is on a completely different level. She's got a footwork of a properly trained boxer. Head & body movement, timing, feints, counters - all on the money. This, on the other hand, was not unlike a schoolyard brawl, only more aggressive. A lot of blocking punches with a face, wild swings and not much else.
@@HexenStar great job of “Blocking with their face” u mean I assume 🤣🤣 This is actually a line from a 1960s Woody Allen short story: “Fortunately I blocked the blow with my front teeth, which scattered about the floor like chicklets”🤣🤣
Damn that spinning backfist Joanna threw at the end was brutal! Hands down one of the best UFC fights I've ever seen. These women threw tf down foreal! Can't imagine what the day after felt like holy crap.
it was bad ass because like 30 seconds earlier Weili tried to hit Joanna with the spinning backfist and missed then before the end of the fight Joanna hits her with one.
maybe the greatest UFC fight of all-time. NO DOUBT the best women's fight. Just unbelievable heart by both competitors. Huge 3-4 punch/kick combos consistently from start to finish. This is how you put on a show.
Rose knocked out Joanna due to the weight-cut affecting Joanna's chin, thus making her unable to take Rose's shots. Rose KO'd Zhang because she exploited an opening in her defences, thanks in part to fight IQ and Trevor Wittman's coaching. Despite her lanky frame Rose hits deceptively hard, much like Izzy in that regard.
Weight i dont buy tell me that of all times shes cut and one time she weight cuts and effects its the rose fight really nope not believing that theory Rose has the power to knock out
Incredible fight, both women had crazy stamina and were both just driving in on each other. Loved seeing the skillful and brutal exchanges. No wonder Joanna ended up looking like Rocky Dennis at the end of the fight.
She’s the most underrated fighter in MMA. Folks keep sleeping on her skills, and she shuts them up each time. 🌹 will the the best ever if she can keep her head on straight.
@@norfolknwhey4787 Yeah, Rose is pretty good for sure, she's a knockout artist, she packs a surprising punch to her striking that her opponents don't expect. Joanna is my fav but I like Rose too, I figured she would win against Weili(Joanna too though.) Technically I think Joanna did win against Weili, i think the judges miss scored damage taken and also deducted points from Joanna 1 for the late punch after the round end and 2 for the headbut. I'm a huge fan of Joanna but even from my perspective it looked like she was fighting dirty and cheating her ass off, i have faith in her, but i also know what it means to her to be champion so it should come as no surprise she is willing to cheat to win if she's willing to die to win going as far as to keep fighting when her head is as swollen as it was here. Also, i had Joanna down for winning her fight rematch with Rose, the judges miss scored that as well.
Rose is clearly a much better defensive fighter than Joanna. I’d rather be Mayweather and not get hit, but strangely Rose also has such accuracy on her power strikes it’s as if she has more power than she would by being bigger and stronger...
@@kineahora8736 I think Rose is one of the best technical strikers in MMA, with only Shev being better in the female ranks... her biggest opponent that she will have to keep in check will always be found in a mirror. If she can keep her mental game on-point, she will continue to be the best in her class.
I figured that if Rose were going to win it would be within the first two rounds as she has power and her cardio isn't exactly the best. It shocked me not that Rose KO'd Zhang, but how early it happened. UFC 261 was a crazy event, and a damn good one too.
that was beyond incredible, both women were extremely skilled and fought ruthlessly. Definitely the most entertaining fight I've ever watched. High praise to Weili as well as Joanna.
I just watched Wonder Girl vs Jackie Buntan and was going crazy in my living room and then I remembered THIS fight and brought it up expecting to have misremembered it. I remembered it fine, this is one of the most spectacular fights I have ever seen bar none. Kind of willing to put it in the top 5. This is stunning. I remember watching it live and being underwhelmed by Adesanya and Romero but the whole house, fans or not, went wild for these two. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. All of us felt honored. This is everything professional fighting should be. These women are warriors.
She actually both looks like and fights like a Klingon, which is a compliment. She has a warrior spirit as well. They should cast her in a Star Trek movie.
This is the very 1st time I watch women boxing. I just got to this site by accident so I had no favorite nor had I ever even heard of neither one of these ladies. What a fight! Man, did I get lucky! This is one fight where I wish there were no losers. Both women fought their azz off! They're both bad azz mama-jamas in my book. SERIOUS RESPECT for both of them!!!
La verdad es que no entiendo es que como hay payasos que dicen "Robo, ganó Joanna", si Weili al final de la pelea apenas tiene un rasguño, y a Joanna la dejaron deforme, le dejaron la cabeza que parecía un alien, o hidrocefálica, ¿cómo rayos va a ganar la pelea si terminó de esa manera?.
Epic fight!! It doesn't matter if it is men or women or whatever, if it is even like this one, then it is awesome! Congratulations to both brave fighters, you made history!
Honestly, such an unfair decision. Absolutely unfair. But the duel was outstanding! Even among male athletes it is so rare to have a challenge like this. Beautiful, brave and top class! Bravissimo!
This is the best women’s MMA fight I’ve seen to date, and one of the most ferocious counterstriking battles I’ve seen in the UFC by either women or men.
im not even an mma fan but my friend told me to watch this fight. both women are insane. stood in there and dished it out like crazy. win or lose imo they both fought well
