Tate hasn't said anything about this on social media yet, so I would assume it just fizzled

Rousey vs. Holm will do more PPV buys than Rousey vs. Tate III would of. Plus the co-main is also a rematch, so no reason to have the main event a rematch too, when you have Holm.

Tate vs. Nunes would be cool, but I'd rather see Tate vs Cybog at 140lbs headline a fight night.

I know she beat McMann, but I don't think Nunes is someone the UFC should be trying to promote. I don't think beating McMann showed how good she was but rather how overrated McMann was.

I think he wants to almost guarantee a win so she can fight at UFC 200 next year.

Rousey-Tate 3 was a stupid idea anyway, given Rousey has beaten her twice, and Tate hasn't demonstrated she can ever win against Rousey.  Although I think Holm has even less of a chance than Tate, Tate has already had 2 chances to beat Ronda, I'd rather see other people challenge her.

I'm interested in how many PPV buys this card will get; considering how UFC went and put Rousey vs Holm as the Main Event and have Jedrzejczyk vs Gadelha as the co main?  Obviously Rousey is a big draw, but I wonder if it will do over the 900,000 buys set in Rousey vs Correia.

@boredoms That's a given at this point.  What I wonder is if she will out draw her previous record of 900,000 PPV buys for an event that was held in Rio?

I think it will do even more buys than 190. They'll be more (mainstream) media at 195 simply because it's in Vegas. Plus they'll be able to promote Holm as an undefeated MMA fighter who has multiple world boxing titles, and Ronda just KO'd someone in 34 seconds.

Its hard to predict because it seems like Ronda has a totally different audience outside of typical fight fans. One of the advantages UFC 190 had was that it took place right after the Entourage movie came out.
