I was reading the Twitter react and forgot about Amanda Nunes. I'd rather she got the next shot than Holm.
Hope she gets a big fight.
Not as interested in the Rousey fight as I am in seeing where they match #2-#6 of the weight class. So much potential with that.

Cat also needs a big fight, perhaps Cat vs Meisha (if no Cyborg) is on the table or Cat vs Nunes rematch?

No real interest in this fight, anything other than a Rousey 1st round finish would amaze me. The promotion for Holm is going to be as bad as the promotion for Bethe was, especially considering they have barely any decent footage of Holm.

Miesha Tate's manager 'absolutely shocked' she isn't fighting Ronday Rousey next

According to
Miesha Tate's
manager, the world found out Tate wasn't fight
Ronda Rousey
next before Tate herself.
"I'm absolutely shocked," Josh Jones of KHI Management told MMAFighting.com. "I found out just like you did. Very disappointed to hear the news."
​
​
Friday morning at 7:49 a.m. ET, Rousey
announced
on "Good Morning America" that she will be fighting
Holly Holm
at UFC 195 on Jan. 2. As of 10:17 a.m. ET, Jones believed Tate, who lives on the West Coast, was still unaware she wasn't going to get a third crack at Rousey. Tate was
promised
a title shot after defeating
Jessica Eye
last month in Chicago, her fourth win a row.
​
​
"I want to know the reasons behind [the decision]," Jones said. "To not even be given a head's up is very disappointing. She doesn't even know yet. She is going to be absolutely shocked."
​
Jones said Tate had already begun training for the Rousey trilogy fight, and her sponsors were already under the assumption she was fighting Rousey next.
​
​
"I've been beating everyone who could potentially deserve a shot," Tate said on a
recent episode
of
The MMA Hour
when she believed she was going to be next in line for Rousey. "So you can't tell me that there's a single girl out there who deserves it more than I do right now. I'm confident in saying that because I told everyone that I would work my way back to the title and I would earn that, and I have. I've done it, and if there's someone else who people are questioning, who's like, ‘hey, what about this girl? She might deserve it more.' Then okay, I'll take her out too."
​
​
For Tate, whose current winning streak includes wins over contenders
Liz Carmouche
,
Sara McMann
and Eye, it appears as though she'll have to win at least one more time now to face Rousey again.
​
​
And to make matters even more interesting, according to Jones, Tate is scheduled to start filming a movie, entitled "Fight Valley," alongside both Holm and Cris Cyborg on Monday.

I agree with her manager. To have the promoter say publicly that Miesha is next right after she beat Eye and then never even tell her that she is gonna be passed up for Holm is almost becoming normal bad business by the UFC.

They're just going to show past footage showing her striking and kickboxing skills to make the average Rousey fan forget that this is UFC and not boxing. She'll get taken down and get submitted.

Not letting fighter's know who they have lined up, or when they change a match up is normal. How many times has a fight been announced, only to have one of the fighter's hear about it via Twitter?

I don't think it's big deal how a fighter finds out they AREN'T fighting someone. If the UFC announced this fight without telling Holm that would be bad business. Not telling Meisha is slightly inconsiderate at worst.

If the UFC got in the habit of calling every fighter who thought they were getting a title shot to tell them they didn't, they would have no time to actually complete any business.

Then don't publicly say a fighter is next for the title shot right in front of her if you're just gonna change your mind.

If Holm can "get off the train tracks" avoid the clench, keep distance and STRIKE she has a legitimate chance. Its all in her head.

I think when you tell someone they're getting the next title shot, then decide to give it to someone else, you should tell her, it's just the considerate thing to do. It's not like this is a normal fight where they've decided on a different fighter, it's a title fight.

Did they tell her or did Dana say "we'll probably have to do Ronda vs Meisha III"? Sounds like Dana made a comment to throw people off. i bet they planned on Ronda vs Holm the whole time. Either that or they were thinking about letting Meisha have the fight and changed their mind. Doesn't sounds like they broke any promises. Like said, it's a little inconsiderate but it's not "bad business".

zzzzzzz only 1 fight i wanna see her in and this aint it.. im sure lots of idiots will stay pay dollars for this. even nunes was the fight to give her after she just beat the fu** out of the 'Olympic wrestler'
im pretty sure they fail to mention ronda and mcanns medals were at the special Olympics..it seems like this is something the ufc hype machine would fail to mention. tate vs cyborg please and then we can start taunting ronda that cyborg is the real champ until it happens

They announced Miesha vs Eye was for the next title shot just before the fight, and I'm pretty sure Dana confirmed it at the post fight presser. I don't think it's bad business, it's just a s--- way to treat your top fighters.

people forget that they can also say miesha so it makes her fights a little bit bigger..now if she fights nunes or cyborg the fight is much bigger because its sounds like a def number 1 challenger fight and not a gatekeeper fight

This is ridiculous how the UFC is protecting Ronda.
There are three girls out there that could be challenging for her;
Holm, Pena & Nunes. But they all have a common point: they need more minutes in the cage before facing her. Throwing any of these athletes now seem like a way to say "okay, let's match them now so Ronda wins and doesn't have to face her again once she's experienced and has the tool to be challenging".
You could make Ronda vs a 0-0 girl, the PPV would be the same, so, why not not making sense as long as she keeps the belt ?
Holm has an interesting style for the champ. But damn, she needed 2 other W before facing the champ.
Sh-t, if you don't want Ronda vs Tate 3, just put her on the sideline for a while. It wouldn't hurt the division..
