I'm not sure Miesha want a third fight. She said she has met her Everest in Ronda. She came prepared, hoping that Ronda will gases, and she discovered that Ronda's gas tank was larger than expected.
It's kinda like Cyborg/Coenen. Coenen was by far Cyborg's toughest opponant, was the only woman who fought her twice, lasting cumulated time of 6 or 7 rounds, but wasn't even close to win.
The only fight that makes sense now is Cyborg/Ronda.
She really wants another fight with Ronda. She is willing to do whatever it takes to get it, like beat McMann and pushing for a fight against Bethe Correia (someone that seems to make a good storyline fight w/the 4 Horsewomen rivalry and the fact that she is undefeated -- though clearly not much of a threat!). She's trying to systematically eliminate all of the other viable challengers to remain the number 1 contender, herself.
Miesha has decided she needs to get stronger to face Ronda, I think. She's always been on the light side for a BW but she recently said she started trying to fill out as a BW and she put on 5 lbs of lean muscle for the McMann fight. I think it may have paid off with the way she was able to control McMann on the ground and I think her lack of size has hampered her against Rousey and Zingano (by making her tire faster from grappling with larger fighters).
