Cupcake vs Rousey III

[GuiSilva]

How do you guys think it plays out if it happens ?

Do you think Rousey has Cupcake's number or it's a different cupcake now, with a real shot at winning ?

This is 1 of 2 upcoming (I'm assuming anyway) fights that I'm heavily invested in the outcome. I hope the third times the charm for Miesha. I think she has a chance if she can keep her wits about her and concentrate on floating more than stinging. I think Ronda will always be able to outgrapple her and if it goes to the ground she will lose again.

Ronda by sub in R1

I would rather watch a billy goat have sex with a ping pong paddle as I had watch Miesha do anything. I do want to see that belt back around Ronda if it will fit around her now

 

[hypocalking]

Tate should win Frias Zahabi broke down Ronda and what she does. If you lose to her from this point forward you're a moron of a fighter.

 

[BigMuffler]

NeoTate has a chance, she is a whole new Tate with extra muscle and enough patience to beat Holly Home.

I think it matters more how Ronda comes back. If she's back to on top of her game, I don't like Miesha's chances. Ronda can still bull rush Miesha to the mat.

 

[JohnWick]

Holm vs Rousey for the number 1 contender. It's the fight we want to see and if Rousey comes back beats Tate and gets the belt, she may very well retire, move on to bigger things and we will never see the re-match.

 

[DysDave]

Yeah. Its all about what condition Ronda comes back in. She comes back focused and hungry (for success, not food) Tate is done for. She has nothing whatsoever to offer her. Even an unfit Ronda most likely eats Tate for breakfast.

 

[ThePunisher]

I'm obviously biased against Rousey, but I think this is a new and improved Miesha Tate. I thought she would get absolutely obliterated on the feet against Holly Holm, but she was actually competent and serviceable. If she can keep the fight standing against Rousey, I think she can win. Let's not forget, in their last fight, Miesha was the one that foolishly initiated a takedown no less than three times against Rousey.

 

[hypocalking]

Yeah. Its all about what condition Ronda comes back in. She comes back focused and hungry (for success, not food) Tate is done for. She has nothing whatsoever to offer her. Even an unfit Ronda most likely eats Tate for breakfast.

Ronda attacks in the same manner of every fight. She does the same take down technique in every fight. All Tate has to do is avoid and counter just like Holm did. Easy fight for Tate if she does her homework.

The only belt that will fit Ronda now is John Goodman's.

When Dana denied Tate the title shot vs Rousey that she had earned, he said it was because no one wanted to see Rousey vs Tate part 3. Now Tate has the belt and it's the first fight that he wants to make. I wish that he would at least attempt to conceal his favoritism.

 

[skipdean]

I think Misha has evolved more since their last fight. She has more than a shot in the dark against a mentally inferior Ronda. Misha has the confidence, the work ethic and she's got more tools. I've got Misha if it ever happens.

 

[SlickMick]

Give Noons a shot at the title vs Tate! Holm v Rousey rematch UFC 200 for next shot.
Avoid another Rousey vs Tate if possible

 

[Combat Wombatt]

Holm vs Rousey for the number 1 contender. It's the fight we want to see and if Rousey comes back beats Tate and gets the belt, she may very well retire, move on to bigger things and we will never see the re-match.

No way. Ronda vs. Tate first.



Dana wants his Golden Girl back.

There is the new invention called the internet. Dana has already announced on Twitter Tate vs Rousey 3 in December.

 

[discrawg]

Got a feeling Ronda is going to finish Meisha in the 1st.

While Dana is definitely playing favorites, I think more fans will be open to a Rousey/Tate 3 considering Miesha's improvements. I didn't think that Miesha could take Holly down, let alone submit her, but she did both. I will not even try to pick for Rousey/Tate 3 because I have no idea what kind of shape Ronda will show up ... I definitely give Miesha at least more of a chance now after her performance last weekend.

The styles are far different. Meisha was very smart to not rush at Holly and get murdered by her movement and counter striking. She was still losing the exchanges for the most part but she understood that she needed to be patient and get her to the ground. She was coasting to lose a decision but then her patience paid off as we seen. Very smart fight for Meisha, she really only had that avenue to win and she did it.

Holly will smash people that rush her and can't take her down, I would guess Nunes is next for Holly. Nunes is a lesser skilled Ronda, I bet the farm on Holly in that one.

Ronda will not look to draw Meisha in for a striking battle and just run in and grab her, Meisha is better now than she was. We will see but it may turn out with the same result as always.

If Ronda comes back, Nunez is swimming around, Holly is not going away and if Zingano ever comes back, I would say the odds of Meisha holding the belt for a lengthy time is unlikely.

I adore Meisha, she is a hard worker and scrappy as hell but she is looking at a pretty tall order imo. I am just glad she tasted gold before she is done. You just never know in mma, maybe she proves me wrong.

I can not stand Ronda, but I think she can still beat Meisha unfortunately. I hope I am wrong.
