I guess the UFC thinks they could sell a predictable fight that no one has seen yet than a predictable fight we have seen twice already.

Rory insinuated that he would fight Condit recently and in the past has said that a rematch will eventually happen.

First link I saw said they were just going to reschedule it. I think it would be better if Condit fought someone else in the meantime, I didn't mind them making this match simply because it was awesome but Condit hasn't really done enough to deserve to keep the shot and the Hendricks/Woodley winner will definitely deserve it more.

I find it amusing how some people think Rousey will knock Holm out. Rousey herself said last night on Jimmy Fallon that Holm will last longer. Rousey would be smart to take Holm down & try for her armbar. Takedowns will be hard to get for Rousey, with Holm having 100% takedown defense. Rousey will win by decision, but with being busted up. Holm keeps it standing, I believe she has a chance to win by TKO Headkick.

She hasn't had a headkick KO in two years.  She has two UFC fights, both decisions.  I think you're getting a bit uppity about Holm's chances.
