The fact remains that improved or not, neither Miesha nor Ronda have good striking. Ronda's got better power and hand speed but her ring craft is awful and all that nice technique she displays on pads shoots out the window once she's in a real fight and Meisha's striking, though a tad better, is still awful, meaning this fight will go to the ground and Ronda will submit her. My guess, no later than the second round this time.

More technical striking than the Rousey vs. Bethe fight? Check. I mean, hate if you want, but midgets bring war. If you're against this you're prejudiced, so tread carefully.

Theoretically, if there is a ***** in Ronda's armor, it's peppering her from a distance and punishing and moving when she bull-rushes in. Miesha did that a bit in their second fight, but every time she had some sort of momentum she had to resort to grappling with Ronda because her striking just isn't good enough to keep Ronda off her, so she figured, if she's the one to initiate the grappling, she knows how to hold top position against any chick on the planet and she'll win. Ronda's just too good a grappler for that.
Holly, on the other hand, the thing that made her first UFC fights "boring" and unimpressive are exactly what I see can be the only gameplan against Ronda. Keep her off you with footwork, jabs, sidekicks, etc and see how she deals with it. She may have something else in her, she may go full Carla Esparza and not have anything else to offer. If they keep trying to catch her with something before she gets her down, we'll never know.
Of course, what Holly can do if/when Ronda does clinch with her remains a mystery. Holly's a great athlete and she's got belief and a winner's mentality and is also pretty strong, but Ronda is a freak.
