Is Dana afraid that Ronda would lose to Holm again? We know Dana wants the belt back on Ronda ASAP.

Its just funny because Ariel was implying recently that he would be surprised if Ronda was even back in 2016 at all. I'm sure she thought Holm would beat Tate. Now that Tate is out...probably a more enticing fight for Ronda.

Its pretty funny lol. I hope she loses to Meisha cause shes obviously a punk. Dana texts her and asks her if she saw the fight, and ronda goes like what happened and finds out..then goes like "back to work for me then" or some crap...thats pathetic. .Hope she gets choked out by Tate.

If Rousey wins, they get two big fights out of it.

And it's fascinating to imagine the two psychological positions of Tate and Rousey in this third fight.

Tate as champion with no more auro around Rousey could make for an interesting fight. I'll pick Tate in this one.

Rousey couldn't possibly armbar Tate for a third time in three championship fights, right?

I think Ronda's grappling will still find a hole in Tate's if it got to there. Ronda is amazing at one thing and that's finding subs in grappling exchanges which is where Tate naturally want fights to go.

Do they still do those UFC Primetime specials? Have they been replaced by the fight week vlogs?

Would love to see one for this fight. As mentioned, the mental battle between these two is the most interesting thing at this point.

Tate gets armbarred for a 3rd time.

I hate Ronda but this is just a great match-up for her no matter how you look at it.

So are Rousey, Holm, and Tate like Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle? That's right, folks. Everything comes back to Pokemon.

Meisha mentioned retiring twice in the last few months. It would be funny if she just retired now after Ronda is confirmed to return and then Ronda would go back on leave when they proposed her vs Holm for the newly vacant title.

I wonder where Cat Zingano would be in all of this if she didn't try that stupid knee against Rousey.

I would probably guess she would still get arm-barred. She doesn't have the footwork or the speed to avoid getting grabbed. I could also see her being "comfortable" getting close and using her knees and elbows in the clinch when she really should be taking Holm's approach of sticking and moving.

Talking about Cat, where has she been? She hasn't fought in a year. Injury?

Zingano may have even worse submission defense than Holm. Armbar city imo.

Well, wmma is officially garbage. RR gets completely destroyed, hides out and eats her face off and reporters aren't allowed to ask her any questions about MMA because Holly stole her soul.

Meisha wins and Ronda is ready to fight for a title shot without having to fight at least one fight before being gifted a shot. Sad.

Her and HH should have to fight for a chance but the UFC wants no part of it and they are going to keep HH so far away from Rousey it's not funny. They are terrified of Holly because she has Rouseys number.

Holly is going to get a line of wrestlers, you watch.

Holly will get a fight she should win and then we'll get Holm/Rousey 2, if Rousey beats Tate and doesn't retire/ take an extended break.
