Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

When it happens I believe Rousey will be too much for Miesha. Tate is strong and athletic, so this could potentially go deep, but I could also see it being over fairly quickly. Just depends on what kinds of scrambles and sequences the fighters end up in.

I think Ronda will show the difference between good grappling and Olympic level grappling......! Very interesting fight

You think Miesha Tate could have the balls to keep it standing? I think she's a good enough wrestler to keep it standing, and then she could really test Ronda Rousey's striking.

@anik women actually don't have balls!  and i think it's not a matter of her decision. i think ronda gets the takedown even if tate defends her heart out. she might stuff a takedown or two, but before long ronda throws or trips her down.  i believe there's a big disparity in grappling skill, even though the styles are different.

I assumed this fight was gonna be next for both of them, but think it could have been bigger for Strikeforce giving Ronda another fight

I think Rousey would be to much for Tate. Submission late in the 1st.

I almost hope this isn't Tate's next matchup, simply because Rousey will break her in half.

I wouldn't count Tate out at all, but this will be the fight that really tells me about Rousey and her complete MMA game.

If Rousey goes out and armbars her in less than a minute I want to see her vs. Cyborg.

She said it, but I'll believe it when I see it.  She's had trouble making 145 before.
