Why Nunes over Holm? Well because...

[OneGloveGracie]

because they want Holm vs Rousey for the first New York show.

And they picked Nunes over Zingano as well because they want an easy fight for Tate to win. Because no matter who wins between Holm and Rousey(UFC is hoping Rousey) it will still be a great rematch/rivalry fight against Tate.

Jones vs Cormier II
Rousey vs Holm II
Madison Square Garden

you heard it here first.

**edit: Miesha was never offered a rematch with Holm --> http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/4/8...ha-tate-and-holly-holm-was-never-on-the-table

That would be great. I don't want to see Rousey regain her title and I think she loses to Holm again. Styles make fights.

 

[LiLoMMA]

It's because Nunes will look like Dada 5000 by round 4.
And Ronda will get Miesha and her belt back while Holly ages before getting her rematch

 

[rac2]

which will blow up in their faces when amanda gn'pounds the shit outta' miesha in the first

 

[countswagula]

Yeah, but then why have Miesha fight at all?

 

[Thepaintbucket]

No way in hell Ronda is going to rematch Holly without getting the belt back first.

 

[emog1]

No No No
Ronda will fight for the belt
You heard it here for the first

 

[Sparkie]

fitting the pieces together
this gives them lots of option

makes the division more interesting in
the longer run

Ronda will likely fight Tate
likely as you say in NY

easier comeback for Ronda

Holly gets shafted somewhat
but it makes the division more interesting fightwise for the UFC

Holly will get her chance to get back on top again

 

[Ceez]

Because we are tired of immediate rematches that's why

 

[discrawg]

Haha I doubt they plan this far ahead, given the track record of unpredictably in MMA fights.

 

[Phronimos]

Meisha wants to actually defend the belt one time.

 

[M3LDY]

More like all these bullshit rematches are shit

 

[Das Patron]

Look, at the end,this superstar fighters fight whoever THEY want to fight. That means that when the time comes for ronda to come back, she will have to ansk herself "Do i wanna fight for the belt or for my revenge", and she will have to decide between fighting tate/nunes winner or Holm.

 

[wtkace**]

I will prefer Holly to beat someone else first before fighting for the belt again, as I'm pretty pissed off at the immediate rematch concept, screwed Conor's idea!!

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

I like Meisha, and of all the WBW fighters I would prefer her to have the title, but I want Nunes to beat her… Ronda will never beat Holly. Nunes also has the style to KO Ronda in an even more brutal fashion than Holly. We need Nunes to win, so that no matter what, Ronda will be banished from MMA forever.

 

[Fantomas187]

Why would Holm get a rematch? She got finished in her fight with meisha. It wasn't a controversial decision or anything. And she wasn't a long standing champion, it was her first title defence.

 

[xMaxPower]

lol thats retarded. Why would Ronda choose to fight Holly for a non title fight when she can easily win the belt against Miesha?
