You shouldn’t cross compare ratings. JJ doesn’t have a 94 in power for every division. She has a 94 in Strawweight. Based on that division l, I’d argue that maybe only Rose has more power than her (based on her rock of Watersin and Ko of JJ).

Exactly. It’s relative to the division and nothing else.

Stats shouldn’t account for fight IQ.

Basically Rose had better accuracy and power, didn’t waste to much energy like Joanna with feints and missed combos and definitely was the better counter puncher also did a great job driving through Joanna defenses.

Rose was able to score one takedown at end of 5th and JJ outwrestled her from bottom. Namajunas has excellent stand-up, perfect head movement & understanding of distance, but IMO her ground game is extremely overrated. She is good at submissions, but weak wrestling will be big issue against stronger girls.
