Of course Ronda will be expected to take the title back, and she will be the favourite which is logical. BUT, if she loses, then that's the end of her career.

Ronda's biggest money fight is her rematch with Holm. If she loses that will never happen.

The best thing right now is to have Holm/Meisha rematch and the winner to fight Ronda.

If she wins however, of course, then that increases the hype for Tate/Rousey even more.
 
Ronda's return fight will be huge no matter who it is against. And if she loses her next fight it will be disastrous for her career...no matter who she fights.

This is MMA and every fight is a risk. But I think Tate is her best shot to get back in the game...get her title back...get her confidence back...and keep the Ronda machine rolling a little longer.

She just needs to be an athlete again and take care of business against Tate.
 
The only thing that makes it interesting imo is that there is really no way to tell how Ronda is gonna look when she comes back. Seem that that loss really fucked her up mentally. If she does come back to fighting she could look a lot different.

Also, hopefully Tate has learned to not shoot for takedowns on her, especially when she is winning striking exchanges.
 
the only thing this matters for is meisha

-immediate shot for ronda means huge $$$ for meisha

-nunes fighting meisha means high risk for smaller pay

ronda vs holly is huge for ufc and so is meisha. with ronda in the picture the ufc wins no matter what. meisha just hopes its her

im cheering for meisha but that said i pick nunes, holly, and ronda to beat her. i predict meisha loses to any of those 3 next fight

relax, ts. tate lost twice to ronda and was that the "end of her career"?
 
I thought ronda was not going to be ready to fight till november. Now suddenly she's back?

What gives?

exactly

a lot of people would have their eyes opened i they rewatched that fight and the ronda hype gone. tate gave it away. both have very improved striking since then though
 
I figure Ronda would wanna fight Holm first rather than getting the title back. And that's just simply the fight to make, people won't care as much about Ronda/Miesha 3 as Holly/Ronda 2. That's the fight that blew everything up. I think Ronda wants that revenge.
 
I think Ronda fights meisha next and retires either way. If she reclaims her title, she retires on top. I 100% believe there is zero desire from Ronda to face Holly ever again. I doubt she loses to Cupcake but if she does, she'll retire from back to back loses as well. Long story short, I truly believe we will never see Rousey/Holm II. Just my opinion.

I'm not convinced she'll be mentally ready to fight in November. When you admit to wanting to kill yourself after a loss, it'll take a lot of sessions with a sports psychologist to get your mind right.

Miesha, the women who lost to Ronda twice, won the title.

I was aware - just seems so lame that now suddenly her worst nightmare match up loses the belt and the women she has bested twice is now champ and suddenly it's go time.

I agree. Holm reached down Rousey's throat and stole her soul. The only way for Rousey to get it back is to beat Holm. The title should be meaningless to Rousey at this point.

Do you really think she felt that way or was fishing for sympathy? Either way I hope Meisha can whip her ass and we never half to see ronda again.
 
It's all fucked up now: Holly owns Ronda, Ronda owns Tate, Tate owns Holly.

Isn't this what they were saying about Miesha?

Yeah..i dont want to see it, but people think im crazy but i think tate wins it. Ronda is broken mentally and dont think tate hasnt learned from what holm did.
even if tate loses, ronda vs holly again, rondas mind is going to be weak as hell. Well finally get to see ronda scared shitless. Itll be funny actually.

But if ronda loses against tate, we are going to need to have counselors on standby.

Just goes to show she doesn't have a true champions mentality.
 
Its all about what sells

Ronda is what sells,ronda tate 3 will be big then ronda vs holm rematch if she beats meisha again ,you get 2 big ppvs rather then 1
