Holm has looked like shit in the UFC. If you don't want to see Ronda-Tate 3 (even though Dana assured it would happen), fine. What's the excuse for Nunes being passed up for a shot over Holm though?
If this happened in any other division in the UFC, people would be flipping out. A borderline top 10 fighter with 2 unimpressive, non-top 10 wins getting a shot over the #1 and #4 ranked fighters in the divisions who both have a legit case for a shot at the champ.
I think its the reaction they got from fans and media about rematches and Tate already losing twice. But they will only be able to deny her a shot so long, her next win she should get it. Tate vs Nunes, but I dont see Tate winning that one
it's been said Dana visit's Sherdog every day and I'm sure other notable MMA forums and the amount of people saying that they didn't want another rematch between the two could of have something also to do with the decision also Tate will still be there if Holm loses he loses another fight he can promote as a threat to Ronda .He woke up the next day and decided to make the right decision.
He always changes his mind, this time it was for the better
Find me a single post, article, or tweet even that stated they'd rather see Holm vs Ronda when they announced the Tate fight though. There was a small amount of backlash against this fight, but almost everyone agrees that Tate is the 2nd best in the UFC.

This shit kills me. Rumours of Tate/Rousey 3 circulate, and Sherdog is all "Fuck that bullshit. She got her ass kicked twice already. Who wants to see that again?"
Tate gets passed over, and Sherdog is all "This is bullshit! Tate deserves it way more than Holm. It must be because she insulted Reebok. Fuck you Dana!"
This fuckin' place....
Nobody would complain if Dana didn't said that Miesha was getting the next shot or if Holm would have blown Reneau or Pennington out of the water.
Or that Dana is a pathological liar and a sleazeball whose word is worth less than nothing.
lol, someone's mad.

Someone's a shill.
Shill ? You couldn't be more wrong. I just find your emotional investment in Meisha losing her title shot funny. lol.

It isn't about Meisha, I just hate people who don't keep their word.
Well some time people change their minds.
That really isn't supposed to be an option after giving your word. Tate's fight against Eye was a title-shot eliminator that she won. Holly was already scheduled to fight Kaufman. They promised Tate the fight, several times actually. Before the Eye fight if she won and then confirmed it after she did.
"Dana White confirms Miesha Tate gets next title shot against Ronda Rousey vs. Bethe Correria winner at UFC 190"

Dana just mentioned this is the reason why because people already saw Ronda/Meisha twice. I think its safe to assume that fans didnt want to see a rematch, now did they want to see Holm instead?? Dont know about that. But I read twitter comments at Dana afterwards stating they didnt want a 3rd fight and we saw some fans reacting negatively to this rematch on here. I cant recall but I read a couple mma sites that didn't like the rematch. Although, I think they were more upset it wouldnt be Cyborg.
.
Well I for one is happy to see Ronda fight some one new.
I really dont want it to be a Cain JDS Bigfoot thing.
