Of course she says that if it's for the belt it would have to be at 135 (which is totally understandable), but having a legacy fight or a big fight outside her weight class is part of the sport in her mind.
I still think that benching the champ for so long just so they can get their rematch at UFC 200 is a **** move. I think Holly could fight Miesha (or even Cyborg at 140 for a non-title but super frickin' awsome PPV headliner) somewhere around February-March and still be ready for July.
You finally have a champ who wants to be active and you bench her ti fit into the #2's plans? Who does that?? The UFC are so fixated on UFC 200 breaking UFC 100's PPV sales record I have a feeling they're going to manipulate 2016 so hard just to make sure every money-maker in the company is on that card. It'll make for a great card but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of ****** up **** going on in order to make sure it happens.

P.S I am on the fence about the Ronda rematch. I don't believe the champ and the entire divisions should have to wait until Princess Ronda says she is ready to fight, but another part of me wants to see her finished off so she goes away for good.

I think they pray to gay Jesus that Ronda beats Holly in the rematch (she won't), be forced to have Holly as their champ (especially after Ronda retires in a hissy fit) and stop promoting WMMA heavily. They'll start treating the women's divisions like the flyweight division (title fights as co-mains or fight night headliners, etc) and wait for a new star to emerge. I get it, most fight "fans" are idiots, Holly will never sell even remotely close to what Ronda will, she's too nice. They're business men before anything else.

The only reason they're not doing that is because they're scared Holly might lose or get injured and that rematch wouldn't be on their precious UFC 200.
The first half of 2016 is going to be all about making UFC 200 epic. I personally think that in this case there is too much of a good thing. I don't know where you draw the line exactly, but if for instance every single belt is on the line on the same night, will it be epic? Maybe, but I have a feeling it loses a little something from each one of those fights.
