We may have lost Velasquez-Werdum, but there are some great match-ups on this one along with a pair of extremely compelling title fights.
We've got one prelim on UFC Fight Pass at 730pm ET followed by FS1 prelims at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, airs at 10pm.
Enjoy!

Very drunk, bear with me...
Nunes laughing off how easy it was to shrug off Rousey's take down set ups...
While Tate sits there awkwardly laughing at the idea...
Poor Miesha. lol

- It wasn't Nunes power or her accurate striking that won her the fight, it was the combination of both. Great.
- I was shocked, not by the winner or the mode of finish but how quickly. I know both are quick starters and I expected a first round finish but not a first minute finish.
BLAME
- I have read critiques of Edmond's ability as a technical coach but I believe the bigger issue is his lack of tactical ability.
- I also read that Ronda's loyalty to Edmond is the reason she lost again but there is a saying "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". Rousey should have known after the Holm loss she needed to change coach, so it wasn't her loyalty so much as her pride that lost her this fight (i.e. even with inferior coaching I can still win).
FUTURE
- The talk in the lead-up to the fight was that she would most likely retire if she lost. I don't have a problem if she decides to go make babies with Travis Browne.
- At this point I can't see her beating either Shevchenko (who out struck Holm) or Pena (who out wrestled Zingano).
- The best scenario for Rousey (wants to be champ) and UFC (wants to make money) is if Ronda can make 125. Her nutritionist Mike Dolce said she could make 125.
- The reason the UFC gave in and made 145 is because they had a star (Cyborg), so the best chance for getting 125 in the UFC is if they have one as well (Rousey). Wouldn't you like to see JJ vs Rousey for the inaugural 125 Flyweight title?
