Thug Rose is landing almost at will against Andrade, so far, and has her bleeding. #ufc237 pic.twitter.com/deFA0INenN

Rose is straight THUG!! So smooth on her feet and has a savage BJJ game! What more can you ask for in a fighter?! #UFC237

All the respect to @rosenamajunas #Beast #ChampRound

— Cortney Casey (@CastIron_Casey) May 12, 2019

She was essentially better everywhere other than in pure heft and strength. Namajunas, so far, taking Andrade to school.

— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) May 12, 2019

Amazing first round @rosenamajunas performing like a champ@in every aspect

— Raquel Pennington (@RockyPMMA) May 12, 2019

Rose’s footwork is looking reminiscent of Cody Garbrandt vs Cruz #levels #ufc237

— Curtis Blaydes (@RazorBlaydes265) May 12, 2019

OMG, slam by Andrade, Rose lands on her head and IT IS OVER! WOW

— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) May 12, 2019

Oh my god.

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) May 12, 2019

I hope she's ok

— Justin Buchholz (@JustinBuchholz) May 12, 2019

Nooooo #ufc237

— Katlyn Chookagian (@blondefighter) May 12, 2019

Huge relief to see Rose up and about. Honestly was very scared for her with the angle of that slam.

— Megan Olivi (@MeganOlivi) May 12, 2019

And then Rose goes, walks straight toward Jessica and hugs her. I can’t with these two, they’re too incredible.

— Fernanda Prates (@NandaPrates_) May 12, 2019

Despite the outcome, @rosenamajunas clearly was the more skilled fighter tonight. Hate to see someone dominating every second and then lose

— Sean McCorkle (@BigSexyMcCorkle) May 12, 2019

Fuck.

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) May 12, 2019

Oh wow #ufc237

MMA is fucking chaos. Pure chaos.

Congrats on Jessica’s victory! Glad Rose is ok after that takedown#ufcRio
