Pat Barry ignoring Trevor's advice, giving the opposite advice was one of the most disrespectful and weirdest things I've ever seen, if I was Trevor I'd never coach her again with how clingy and possessive Pat is, wouldn't be surprised if Rose has no friends because Pat controls her lmao
U know that creep steering at her of cam right now😂
@@thugwafflebro8062 chill
Pat the GROOMER
You cant just blame pat barry. Rose is a grown ass woman and even if someone in your circle is making the wrong choices for you thats 100% Your responsibility shes not a little kid that cant think for herself. And maybe one day after her retirement she will come to her senses
@@donlean2164lmao she was a little kid when they first got together.
She gotta get Pat out of her corner on fight night. Trevor is the man
Trevor's adjustments for Gaetje were so good
Exactly I agree with you
Pat behind the camera holding up the cue cards
No worries, Rose and I will be engaged by summer, 'I love you, Rose... 'Kick Rocks Pat'
We need to rescue this little boy from Pat Barry!
Such a simple joke but absolutely hilarious 😂
i`m ashamed, especially being an older dude, that this made me chuckle 😁🤦♂
Hahahaaha!
Don't listen to Pat Barry approaching the fight. Listen to Trevor as much as you can
I love Rose but please improve your communication skills. Listening to someone saying "like" every 5 seconds makes the interview so hard to enjoy
Remeber Pat Berry is stalking out there.
So much to ask that Ariel didn't... Why FLW now? Would she fight Valentina despite being her friend? Zhang for the FLW belt? Why didnt others interest her? How does she see the Carla fight in hindsight? We didn't learn much at all.
All the questions I was interested in watching this for but you just saved me some time
yeah many unanswered questions but she answered the flyweight one. She said its because she feels like theres nothing to do at strawweight. She fought weili and andrade twice and was already champ twice. And she put on some weight
🤭
@@phobosex7504 too much weightcut for 115, @justagoose7741 she walking around at 135-138 most days and thinks less weight cut = better for overall health
@@phobosex7504 yea but I wish he had asked a bit more about it since there are new contenders and possibly a new champion but oh well
She feels a little lost, it's hard to get what she's trying to say most of the time.
She loves the word like like like like
Get Pat out of the corner if you come back
Out of her life entirely. He's a boat anchor.
@@MichaelGray-gn9fvyeah he is
She said people paying to watch violence bothers her, oh she's absolutely done after her next fight, if that even happens.
Firstly, I agree, casuals paying for a trainwreck bother me too. Secondly I don’t pay. Thirdly I watch to see people challenge themselves, violence has nothing to do with it.
She probs threw the fight with Carla for a major payday from a crooked bet to where they can retire comfortably and it was probably orchestrated by pat…. Hence “stick to the game plan”
Rose getting into the fight with intention not to hurt the opponents means she has lost it. Should retire or give the retirement fight with Joanna.
She made her money and now wants to get out the game. No reason to watch her fights.
6:17 she really said she never had a boring fight, including the Carla loss lol
Shes delusional
People like you guys always amaze me. You put the timestamp then you literally have no clue what she was saying or where she was headed with her statement when she got distracted by whoever was there behind the scenes
Pat is the reason she had a boring fight. He was telling her she was doing great during the fight.
Retire.
gross listening to her talk with pat always within ear shot
I sleep 😴 She looks more like pat every day I guess what they say is true after a while couples look alike
They model their groomers
I think that's meant for pets. Dogs and owners particularly
The amount she says like makes this a hard watch 😂
"Just a Pat" Barry
pat "if theres grass on the field playball" Barry
He is a creepy dude for sure
She's ALWAYS thinking about retiring..
Inflation won't let her smh
Pat “the groomer” Barry
I know everyone jokes about it, but he actually did groom her it appears. Smh. But I guess as long as you get married it's okay🤷♂️
Soo excited for roses to be back!!!
Thug rose is too nice to be in this toxic mma stuff. Can't wait to see her fight again
Lol get ready for another 5 rounds of shadow boxing
Spreading hatred is nice?
I like this version of Rose. She sounds free, has peace, and knows that whether she wins or loses - it doesn't matter down the track because she's already happy with who she is down inside.
Rose is free as long as Pat says she's free
@@phobosex7504you be quiet Pat groomed her and what has she done she can’t successfully defend her title loses it straight away after winning it
IDK, to me she feels a bit lost, it's hard to make what she's trying to say most of the time.
She don't look hungry.... like she is happy where she is now....
She doesn't want to fight anymore. She's done.
IMHO Rose's mental game is what keeps her from being her absolute best. I mean look at what she's accomplished without being confident that what she does is even her calling.
Rose "Ima take some time off for my mental health" Namajunes
Probably said “ I’m gonna like take some time off like for my mental health like”. 😅 What’s going on with Rose?
She is so perfect and lovely
Can't wait to see her fight again she is such a amazing fighter
Not with Pat Barry holding the strings.
Rose is one of my favorite fighters man or woman so sad it took her this long she should be dominating the division
Pat groomed her up from like 16 years old.
14 bro
He's like a coked up pimp He lost her the last fight.
@@MichaelGray-gn9fvyeah he did.
Pat is a high level groomer who has years of experience. He is a sicko .
True martial artist. Grit but no hate, as GSP.
Rose blink twice if Pat berry has you in a ankle pick
Rose is the female Tony. We all love you, but you're mentally off in your own place. They're a very different type of unstable, but unstable nevertheless
Great analogy
How anyone can hate on Rose will never make any sense to me.
Why Fiorot? She's huge comparing to Rose.
she had nothing to say about Justin? so much for being teammates
Haven’t missed her
Has anyone?
@@TheNaturalCauseNope. Something off about her. I expect alot of future headlines. Basing that offa nothing but my intuition.
@@TheNaturalCause i have, most entertaining style in wmma except for her previous fight
@@robovac3557 like what headlines?
What a beautiful person
At least Sean is honest!
crazy how Rose could have become the greatest Strawweight(or at least on par with younggaychick)if Barry wasn't her coach giving her braindead advice, she was that close to it
😂
2-0 against her
Just say now to coked up coaches.
I hope she not doing this to please Barry
Barrys pushing her because she's his meal ticket.
Less than 15 months is not a year and a half Ariel
😂
I miss 🌹hope she comes bk.
i find you rather inspiring, rose. always stay super cool, and fight, the good fight, sister! nothing but love, for you and pat!
She is one of the greatest fighters but she either needs to retire or get a good sport/ normal psychologist. Too much of a head case / unpredictable. She’s gifted but unable to focus. Her coaches must be stressed.
Rose would quit MMA if she was in Weili's shoes who faced covid difficulty defending her belt, being booed for the hatred someone's created & being away thousands of miles from her family for 5 years but still Weili is respectful & so nice to everyone
Yea because Rose is mentally weak compared to her
@@djccombat5530 she's really good as a fighter but I think she wants a way out through her fame like Roda did, based on how hard she tried to sell her I am the best gimmick
Anyone counter the amout of times she said "like"? :D
I like 🌹 Shes pretty honest no matter the comments 😅
What even is this interview this is sad
She is the best in that division. They all know it
Dude what this woman was able to do during her career is amazing. I always felt she was the other dog and would lose when it came down to it. But every fight she was able to suprise and prove me wrong. I pray she spent retire anytime soon. Thug rose!
Other dog ur under dog ?
4-0 against weili & joanna. Legend
Weili & Joanna killed Carla who took Rose's soul 2 times easily
@@high5786And Rose knocked both of them out and took their souls easily…😂
Get off your knees she doesn’t love you… MMA math does not work.
@@high5786it's insane the disrespect these fighters get. Barely lost to Carla this last time. She would be fine if just Trevor coached her on fight night
@@Jbeacs both Joanna & Weili don't quit especially Weili Rose to the top. Rose retired for more than a year after Andrade planted her head onto the mat & also lost her soul more than a year after Carla 2.0 choked her soul out for her feeding I'm the best lay & pray skill to her little dogs like yourself
I'm the best, I'm best, I'm best I'm the best. I should retire, should retire, I should retire
Thug 🌹!
FINALLY an interview with Thug Rose!!!
Thug Rose 🌹 is special fight in movies and still make money I see you don’t genuinely wanna hurt no one you still be number 1 champ respect
Ariel you just wasted 25 min. And you beta orbiters. She will never give you a chance
Coming back in valintinas division is not a good move
They're friends
Everyone talkin about how rose is out mentally don't understand the sacrifices these fighters make and how mentally taxing the whole fight game is. She's still here and one of the best in the world regardless, looking forward to seeing her back in the octagon.
Did you just start watching the UFC? Because you're clueless 😵💫
UFC fans are some of the worst when it comes to turning their backs on fighters…seems to happen to all the legends after they suffer a loss. Didn’t hear any of this disrespect when she was knocking out Joanna and Weill 🤔
Same thing happened to Silva when he finally lost. In a few years, they'll be telling their buddy's how they got to watch Rose in her prime and bet on her when she was the underdog knocking Joanna and Weili out in one round.
I think a lot of the negativity is stemmed from Pat Barry and the whole circus around that
I honestly feel most of it is due to Pat, the dude is just annoying. His whole career is made off of her and he always has to interfere in her interviews but tells her not to interfere in his even though they're about her
Rose probably got startled by the Incoming call sound
We all should consider ourselves lucky to see those performances from Rose. Only stupid casuals will criticize her for that one single performance. She's undoubtedly the most exciting and skilled female fighter. If she doesn't have those motivation issues then probably she will be a GOAT.
Rose say “like” if your in trouble
One foot in one foot out, I’d say that was balance in a sport that is extreme and violent. Thought that was funny what she said about fighting Weili “what come back and beat her a 3rd time?” That she only picks fights that interests her gives Dana White fits, Doesn’t do all the teeth gnashing and pro wrestling posturing. Bet her MeeMaw is quiet and tough too.
Pat give the Thug some air to breathe
I bet he is a major control freak. I feel bad for her but she is brainwashed by now.
I’ve never even had a boring fight? I love you Rose, but maybe you should rewatch that last one.
Never understood why she even fights but surely exciting to watch at times when she isn't frozen in her approach, which again questions why she even fights... But 125 needs more skilled contenders.
Bro I can’t be the only one who thinks she doesn’t even want to fight no more but pat pressures her to still compete because he loves to coach and he is her best ………..
@@jasiahperez9547 The couple have both always been paranoid and spoken about negative energy and effect at times, which makes them stay hidden and for themselves away from trouble. It's their life at the end.
I love Rose but come on “like, like, like, like, like” is her every 2nd word! Can’t she speak anymore?? She speaks like a teen or a Kardashian.
Yeah I hope that's not really how she talks and I really hope she's just nervous. It could be Pat sitting in the background
Thug froze
Love you Rose!!! :-)
pat barry is her dad. no for real why do these guys prey on these type of girls. dan hardy too
How old is Dan Hardy’s girl?
If you are talking Veronica ..... Then get your Facts straight !!! Dan was LITERALLY Stalked !!!
Come on, Veronica was in her mid-twenties by the time she got with Dan. Y'all be reaching! 😂 *Edit:* That said, she seems to like older men anyway, so you boys ain't got a chance.
@@walterkaiyuenpang3556 I didn't know Veronica was the one who initiated. 😂
@@The_Isaiahnator... 😂 yeah Veronica basically said she followed / stalked Dan for years around Europe. In the end, she caught her prey !!! 😂👍✊
Rose go up to flyweight take that championship
Ol cringey, weird Pat
She must have said 200000 "like" in this interview😆

Somebody lying! ✡️
what an adorable hillbilly farmer
Pat Barry pacing back and forth with his eyes bugging out of his skull behind the scenes
😂
😂😂😂
Coked up.
@@MichaelGray-gn9fvI’m coked up right now reading this. But I’m definitely not a groomer
15 mths ago , rose fought a shambolic title defence, it was quite a weird one. Did esparza deserve the belt win , ABSOLUTELY NOT . Rose was cushioned by the biggest ever pay day of her fight career. Should have gone too a undercard return match up .( Money talks) morales walk. You knew esparza was looking for a bigger pay day if she had to face the chinese fighter as she was never going to retain her belt . No chance , unless esparza had a well placed gun sniper in the crowd lol . Rose ( in new fight weight) was shown to be underpowered in france or her strikes less effective against naturally slightly bigger or heavier opponents. Wish you All the best rose .
That would have been crazy to retire after the esparza match 😮 Not exactly going out on a banger 😏
Good to see Eminem but isnt this an mma show
Too good 😂
Mentally ill from Amityville
Weili would beat Rose in a trilogy
Thanks Pat
Hahahaha when he was handing off water bottles hahahahaha
Not going to lie she looked like Usman and most fighters that have done it all and still trying to recreate the hunger.
Tell me how the interview ends. I can't take another "like" from Thug Rose
Rose I love you to death you're my favorite please stay away from 125lbs right now you're a legend a hall of famer for sure you don't have to prove anything anymore let Manon fight Talia Santo I think you're the one to neutralize Amanda Lemos power with your skill set
I think its funny hearing Rose trying to describe the indwelling of Gods Holy Spirit. Its impossible. Its as good as life gets folks. Its incredible.
She been losing grappling matches
I am a fan but my ears can only handle the word "like" so may times - count, 233 times in this interview :/
Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Oof that was rough to listen to 😬
Glad she did this interview without Pat
I bet he is right there on the other side of the camera. Giving her dirty looks when she doesn’t give answers he approves.
GSP said it recently in an interview, the thing that made him want to fight and hurt others, is gone. He doesn't carry it anymore, he isn't that guy anymore, so fighting isn't in him anymore. Rose is probably right there too, she's sounded like she was previously too... It's that little thing that drives you just a little more and helped them become champs. Without it , they're essentially different people and different fighters.
🌹
When this woman said, "I want to chase my fears" I felt she had more balls than 95% of men. That really struck me because I, like Rose like challenges. We become bored and stagnate when remaining in a complacent state of bliss.
Unless you have seen 95% of men’s balls this statement is ridiculous.
Why do you think you are complimenting a woman by comparing her to men? She's a human, period. We all have fears, and we all strive to fight our fears, its human nature, and not limited to men with balls
Compare Rose to the majority of fighters - male or female - and you'll find her coming up short by way of toughness. So I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I’m drinking every time she says like and I’m pretygyf[ vue[gwy f[w[ffvpppb lllllllllll
somebody needs to tell her to stop saying the word ''like'' so often.
Is Pat still in the picture? I love (sober) Pat 😍
Pat never gets out of the picture. He's had his fangs in since she was a teenager and makes sure to shave Rose's head every Sunday night.
Yeah he is a skinner. He ain’t letting go of Rose.
She needs to remove pat berry from her cowner. I really do not see the use of her being coached by a guy that has less accomplishments than her
Haha don't be silly plenty coaches who were just decent fighters
@reekhavoc2932 Yeah, but this guy's relationship with that woman is unusual ,and I think he has his nerve to be directing her when she's clearly the superior martial artist.
I feel the predators presence in this video
He's slithering around there somewhere I can hear him 🐍
I made it through the Esparza fight, so you got few more good years, you owe me...😊
