Rose did KO Weili then won a  decision over her, Rose is very good and she is the 3rd best female fight of all time IMO, also beat  Andrade and Joanna twice. Wresling and cardio is the best skills for MMA so Carla might be live in that aspect, But I just don't think Carla is at the top level honesly, Carla wins are usually split decisions where most people think she lost and to mid fighter, And I don't think that good agaist the 3rd best women fighter of all time

Edit: Carla 3 win before fighting Yan Xionan were either splits or Majortity decsion, And if you check MMA decsion, More people though she won then lost

Rose last 6 fights is back to back fight with Weili, Andrade and Joanna, And she went 5-1 and 4 of those wins were definitive, The Weili won was the only arguable one, But I don't think Weili got robbed, It was just close, That a resame for an all time great in the sport and I think she the 3rd best female ever with that accolade 

I think Weili, Andrade and Joanna will all murder Carla, And Rose beat them, Carla is getting close decision which she arguably lost to Michael Waterson and Alexa Grasso, The elite **** up Waterson and Grasso honesly, so I don’t think Carla is elite 

Carla like the wresling version of Kaitlen Chookaigian, They can win close decsion over mid compution, But the elite **** them up

I believe rose underperforms in every rematch she’s ever had. Esparza probably whoops her

That was the first fight. Now I freely admit that in that first fight she looked much more dominant before the slam than she did in the 2nd fight. Andrade had clearly improved her head movement. Rose still won and deserved the win imo but it was a closer fight. All of her rematches have been but this one will be different because all of those were Immediate rematches where the opponent was able to adjust to the same Rose. In this one Rose is a completely different and better fighter than the one Carla eventually submitted.

Rose got some controverssial win recently. I think its time for her to take a lost.

With Tony-Chandler and now this fight the card as significantly improved.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 2083rd

Oliveira vs. Gaethje
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R2
This fight is so promising, and can't wait.

St. Preux vs. Rua II
Ovince St. Preux, TKO, R1
Why not.

Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
Bad matchmaking. This would have been a dream matchup a few years ago, but Ferguson is not aging well at all. A lot of miles on the body and some very concerning mental issues recently resulted in 3 very sad performances, where he was treated like a punching bag and dominated every second of every fight, except for one good uppercut against Gaethje. Chandler lost 2 in a row, but badly hurt both Oliveira and Gaethje, and was this close to win each of these fights, so I don't see how Ferguson can survive this. He needed a big step back in competition, someone like Guida or Miller, or a rematch vs Cerrone, something like that. Not someone who was 1 punch away from being the champion.

Johnson vs. Patrick
Michael Johnson, DEC
I'm glad Michael Johnson is getting another chance here, despite having lost 4 in a row and 7 out of 10. He's always fun to watch, has impressive wins against some of the best lightweights in the world (Dustin Poirier by KO, Tony Ferguson, Edson Barboza...), and a lot of his losses were to la crème de la crème (Khabib, Gaethje, Dariush, Emmett, Nate Diaz in his prime...). Even in some of his losses he was impressive before failing (he clearly wobbled Khabib with a hard punch, he dominated Emmett before getting caught by a baseball batt, he gave Gaethje a memorable back and forth war, even the Nate Diaz fight was fun and competitive. Talented for sure, but maybe a little lack of heart. This is a very winnable fight, tho.
