@dtrain24 Lmao, if Joanna put her hands on her she'd be unable to see due to her teeth piercing her eyes.

EDIT: By the way, not enough blood for my taste. I bet VZ still has three or two liters left.

I honestly have it 30-25 Rose right now, that could very well be two 10-8 rounds.

If anything Paige getting her ass beat like this but staying around this long has probably got her more fans and less haters than if she had steamrolled Rose

@dtrain24 I am rooting for the decision just to see the crazy scorecards. I am pretty sure one ****** will score it 50-45, tho.

Yes, we have seen Joanna fight someone who could potentially take her down several times in a fight...Carla Esparza, arguably the best wrestler in the division couldn't.

Ok, I am starting to get uncomfortable. There is no way that arm didn't break.

Never talking **** about PVZ again. She's not just some pretty face like being advertised. She is unbelievably tough.

Brian Stann showing complete lack of knowledge. a) Joanna HAS faced someone who "could" take her down a few times because Carla potentially could and Gadelha did, repeatedly. b) Rose taking VanZant down repeatedly means absolutely nothing about her chance of doing the same to Joanna.

I honestly don't even know how PVZ hasn't tapped yet. She wasn't kidding when she says she never gives up.
