I wouldn't be surprised if Tate walked away victorious here. I also wouldn't be surprised if she submits Holm.

Glad to see Rousey's not jumping back in so quickly, would've been awful for her career. Like the Gray Maynard syndrome.

So glad they're giving Tate her shot at the title, this is the fight to make right now. Ronda needs to regroup, not come back after a devastating KO, maybe have her fight Nunes/Evinger/Pena.

Holly by KO. They can sell Tate due to her looks, though if she wins.

I thought the UFC said it was Rousey vs Holm. I'm down if this is the fight though.

The best thing about this fight (if it happens) is that they're not benching a healthy, willing champ just for Rousey. 

They need to get on the right page. Holly's the champ, not Rousey. Just like they kept telling Cyborg that Ronda was the one with the belt so she doesn't have to chase Cyborg. Same applied here, Holly's the one with the belt, Ronda needs to align with her schedule and not vice versa.

Really glad they aren't putting Holm on hold for Rousey to recover.

I wonder what finally got them to hold off on the Rousey rematch if this is true. Did Dana realize that shoving Rousey into an immediate rematch when she was unable to train for some time and busy filming movies was idiotic? Or are they just hoping the winner of this will be ready for Rousey at 200 anyway?

I think there's more to the event being moved from Brazil to Washington than they're letting on and MM and Miesha are their highest profile "locals" - maybe trying to reduce "bad press" for a while. 

Probably get Benson Henderson on this card too if they manage to get him to resign. Can totally see Chiesa, Sicilia and Pena on this card too if they're all injury free.

I'd love for this to happen. Big event for Washington with Tate and DJ potential both fighting. Smart move by the UFC, if true.

PilloryChoke I think it's because Holm has been very vocal of not wanting to wait till UFC 200,she wanted a fight before that and then fight again at UFC 200 so I think the Rousey fight is still on for UFC 200 as long as she wins and stays healthy.

That's too bad, I wanted to see if Holly could sell tickets by herself.

Oh well, it gives her more notice being on a card with Conor.

What is the justification for Conor fighting RDA anyways?

What was the justification for Penn fighting GSP at UFC 94?

It's a Superfight. Champion vs. Champion. 

Nuff' said.
