Prediction: wrong Tate   wrong Decision  

From behind, it looks like it was a premature stoppage.. from the replay, it looked like it was in good. The problem was, Mazzagatti was just going by what Rousey was saying. Dude wasn't even paying attention.

I don't think D said, "tap".. but she was going to within the next 3 seconds. "Ahhh" and Taaaaap" would sound similar in that situation, so I could see how Rousey thought she said tap. I don't think either lady was lying, but Mazzagatti needs to get in there and listen for himself.

Normally the non-mustache Stevester will torpedo his butt in there, but maybe he shies away from that when reffing ladies?  Who knows.

Prediction: correct Rousey   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

Does anybody here at the greatest site on the internet Tapology really believe Tate has a legitimate shot at beating Rousey? Tate's bread and butter is her grappling, but it's nowhere near the level of Ronda's.

Rousey seems like the safe bet but I wouldnt be surprised to see Tate win this.

Don't forget Coenen almost locked that chock in on Tate in her last fight.

Ronda's not going to continue the same armbar move against Miesha Tate. She's wise to her antics, lol. I got Tate via UD, but Ronda could definitely take it via sub, but it won't happen in the 1st if it does, and it won't happen by armbar. Tate will be watching for that.

This is going to be a very interesting fight. I can't wait to see how Ronda does against her first real competition since this is the first time she will fight someone that has a lot of experience.

@rorshach - yes, I believe Tate has a 'legitimate chance' of beating Rousey, and quite frankly am surprised that Tate isn't favored to win the fight.

I see Tate taking this one. None of Ronda's opponents have any real claim to being an elite 145-er, and now she's fighting a Strikeforce Champ. I will be watching the first round very closely though, it's obviously very possible that Rousey is able to lock in a judo throw and sink in one of her famous armbars...
