LOL! The difference on Dana's face when the person he doesn't want to win gets the belt ... he's literally counting the $$$ he's not going to make on Miesha/Ronda III vs. Holly/Ronda II.

Look at Miesha's eyes from the time she took Holm down to when it was stopped, she never opened her eyes. She knew she was close to winning and gave it her all. Good for her.

Eight straight wrong picks for me. Based on this trend, it doesn't look good for Conor.
