Will you still consider her a better fighter than Ronda or just a bad match up for her, in particular?
 
There will be a lot of explaining on sherdog if that happens.
 
immediatly Ronda will change her plans
 
If she does lose and was healthy, I'd chalk it up to the stylistic matchups. I'd go so far as to say Tate is a more well rounded, overall skilled fighter than Ronda, but Ronda developed her striking enough to be dangerous and has the enormous trump card of her Judo / armbar.
 
If she loses because Miesha can find a hole in her game to exploit, it means nothing. Holly found every hole in Ronda's game to exploit, she's the better fighter. Ronda did the same thing to Miesha the two times they fought. Fighting is sometimes more about finding your opponents weakness than demonstrating your strengths. Few fighters have no areas that can be exploited. Anyone that didn't know that about Ronda does not understand MMA very well. It was ripe for the picking.
 
I'd probably consider her a bad match up for Ronda.

Ronda shown extreme levels of dominance during her reign, it was a walk in the park for her. Only Miesha and Liz (prior to Holly) lasted longer than one minute and six seconds versus Ronda, everyone else got starched within a minute (well Sara lasted a whole six seconds past the minute mark). Nine of her twelve wins were under a minute. Sheer dominance. As one sided as it gets.
