I agree that it should've been Nunes.

Can't wait for Holm to dismantle Ronda and prove everyone wrong. This is Weidman/Silva to me.
Pillow fist Holm has not looked like a contender at all in her 2 UFC fights. It's a shit matchup, giving RR an easy win.
The fight makes no sense. Even Greg Jackson said she wasn't ready before her last fight and that she needed more time. To say that Holm has been not tested with competition is an understatement. Her ground game cannot be even close to ready to facing the top 5 let alone the greatest female grappler to ever walk the earth.
Everyone complains that there is no competition in the division and no one deserves to fight RR. Im pretty sure Nunes beat Sara McMann, a legit competitor that fought for the belt. She clearly deserves it. It just shows you that Ronda gets what she wants.

I think the Holm fight could be Ronda's toughest fight in the UFC. Holm is the only female UFC fighter I've seen that seem to have decent fight IQ and follows a gameplan. She's a point fighter that will avoid major risks at any costs. She's far away from being top 5, but she has the stylistic matchup to at least make it look like a fight and not a freak show. I expect Ronda to armbar her but that it will happen in the later rounds. I don't see why Nunes fight would be so great - that is a typical "Ronda by armbar/TKO in 30 seconds" fight.
Let me play devil's advocate here for a second..... I remember the time BEFORE Holly Holm signed... geeezzz I remember his manager selling her like the second fucking coming of Christ, I rememeber negotiations opening and closing because according to his manager Holly was going to destroy Ronda and everybody wanted to see it.... ok well... turns out after 2 fights honestly I dont think Holly is going to beat Ronda in the next 10 years (if they both keep training) so I imagine Dana and Lorenzo are paying more money to this girl than they hoped she was worth... I imagine they want to "at least" get a title fight they can sell out of their investment and they simply dont have a lot of hope of Holly ever beating Ronda (as I mentioned I dont either) so they are just cashing on their investment, before it depreciates more (she might lose a fight and fucking forget it) its a business decision, simple as that

greatest female grappler ever to walk the earth only got a bronze?
She also lost to Zingano and D'Alelio fairly recently. So no, she doesn't "clearly" deserve it.
But Correia did?
