Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

Reported by Helwani on UFC Tonight that Zingano suffered a back injury, which is what forced the rescheduling.

Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   wrong Round 3  

I predicted Zingano would beat Rousey about two years ago. Since then Cat has gone through a lot and Rousey has gotten much better at striking so this one is tough for me to predict.

Prediction: correct Rousey   wrong Decision  

@Fantasy same thing here. Cat would have given her a very tough fight a while back. But Rousey isn't the same fighter she was back then. She's going to crush Cat now. Anyone who wanted a piece of Rousey, including Cyborg, would have been in a much better position a year ot two ago. She's evolving exponentially now.

Cat's clinch game is really good. She had those crazy throws against Nunes and kneed the hell out of Miesha. If she clinches with Ronda she's getting thrown violently.

The way I see this fight right now Cat still has a decent advantage on the feet, not nearly what it used to be. Cat while good in the clinch will get tossed by Ronda in the clinch. So then comes the ground game. Ronda has been nothing short of great on the ground, easily defeating opponents in every situation. Cat is also really awesome on the ground. I hope we get to see these two grapple a bit on the ground before this fight ends.

I don't think Cat has an advantage on the feet at all. She hasn't ever looked exceptionally fast with her striking and i think Ronda has a significant speed advantage. She can do some amazing things in the clinch like @boredoms mentioned but she'll get thrown like a rag doll if the fight goes there. I think Ronda will win easy, again.

^ Yep, what he said. Meisha was able to take Cat down multiple times. Rhonda is going to finish this one quickly.

Zingano is one of the few with the skills to beat Ronda the thing is I have learned not to bet against the UFC's poster child.

Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

Cat might be the most credible threat to Ronda at the moment, but I'd still have her as a fairly big underdog. Against both Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes, Zingano got in trouble early and had to come back to win. She won't have that luxury against Rousey.  Getting into trouble with Ronda equals an early night.

Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

Zingano is a notably slow starter, who does her best in the 2nd and 3rd rounds when she finally gains momentum. Her performances against Meisha Tate and Amanda Nunes have solidified this fact. So if the fight was to go past the 2nd round, Zingano's chances of securing a victory against the No.1 Womens p4p fighter in the world today goes up by 250%. The problem? Rousey is a fighter that finds the "Feeling Out" process comical. From the time the referee starts the fight, Rousey is up in your face and has some of the best takedowns in the game. Prediction: Rousey, Armbar, Round 1

Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

The fact that Cat is a slow starter and Rousey comes out strong right from the words "Let's get it on!" makes me think Rousey will finish her early. I hope the fight goes on longer because of how entertaining it'd be, but we'll see.
