I for one cannot wait until this event happens.  There's a few good fights on the card already, not to mention the winner of TUF 17 will be crowned.  Also the next TUF coach opposite or Rousey will be revealed as well.  It'll be a good card.  Let's hope no injuries affect any of these fights.

It was a great fight, but Tate was winning and I think she exposed Cat a little. I think Rhonda handles her.

I thought the fight was split going into the third... and Meisha definitely wasn't winning the third. Love that fight though, great stuff.

Great fight and what a performance for Zingano...sadly her arm will be snapped in less than 2 minutes vs Ronda.

Tate exposed Cat's lack of striking, which is something Rhonda can't do.  Miesha's corner should have told her, "Strike, quit ******* grappling and turn her lights out."  That's Rick Little for you tho.

Zingano wanted it more and she broke Miesha. There was nothing wrong with the stoppage because it was only going to get worse for Miesha. 

I'd much rather have a fighter pissed off saying they could have taken more shots than a fighter waking up asking what happened after taking 5-6 shots too many. Miesha wasn't protecting herself and the one thing every fighter has rattled into them time and time again by refs is protect yourself at all times. 

It isn't a refs job to judge how tough you are, how hard you've worked or how much you want it.
