I see Karolina trying to bait Rose into exchanges in the pocket, a lot of forward pressure and leg kicks. I see Rose establishing her jab, keeping it basic and looking for clinch work and take downs when they're available. Karolina is certainly strong and does very well with 3,4 or 5 strike combinations, mixing in various strikes. However, if Rose doesn't bite the bait and uses good movement, Karolina will be wide open for counter strikes. Karolina begins to get sloppy the more time passes and she often gets countered in exchanges. I believe the unknown variable in this fight is the grappling aspect. Rose has taken all her opponents down while Karolina has displayed decent take down, quick to get back to her feet and strength. Although I'm not sure, I do think Rose is capable of taking this to the ground and having a big advantage. I also see her staying disciplined on the feet. Overall, Rose is definitely more technical and I think she wins this fight by decision, maybe submission.
Thanks for watching everyone. I appreciate your viewership. My last Rose Namajunas breakdown video got over 24,000 views. I doubt that will happen again with this video since she lost fought Paige Vanzant but Rose is still one of the larger draws for female fighters. Thanks again!
