“Thug” Rose shocked the world when she knocked out the longtime reigning champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the very first round of their fight. But she’s going to have to be equally dominant against the murderers row of contenders left behind her, in order to really break out into super star status.

The champ stated,

“Joanna, she was like the most dominant female, she was on her way to becoming bigger than Ronda in terms of her accomplishments. So to me, it’s just a testament to how great she was and the fact that I beat her, that’s just awesome.”

“I don’t think that people were necessarily sleeping on me, I just think that she was definitely very impressive.”

“For me, who is the scariest person that I could fight, I think that would be cool. To me, what sticks out as of right now is Jessica Andrade, but at the same time a rematch with Joanna would be great too. I don’t know. The three options right now would be Joanna, or the winner of Jessica Andrade vs. Tecia Torres.”
