So the 2nd female fight has been booked and Miesha Tate is in it. We have Ronda in the first and Miesha in the second.
Do you see a pattern here?
Will Zuffa ever promote a female fight with two fugly women in it?
Sure, Ronda and Miesha are talented fighters but what happens when they run out of visually appealing female fighters to promote?
Is Zuffa jumping into WMMA for the long haul or just to promote some of the better looking girls?
Do you see women fighting in the Octagon for as long as the UFC continues to operate?

No.
Two acute occurences aren't really what I call a robust data set to make anything close to a reliable prediction.

I actually agree with you for once. No, there is no pattern .... yet.

Crap.
When presented with overwhelming evidence that I'm wrong, I have to re-evaluate my position.
If Python says there's no pattern, there's gotta be one....

For me it was when she won the womens SF tourney back in 2010 and i got to stare at her pooper for 2 straight fights.

Who they planned on matching up against a good looking girl?
Cyborg falls into that "freak" category, that supersedes good or bad looks as far as marketability goes.
I actually enjoy the women's fights, I was just posting a question and a thought that I noticed getting a lot of traction elsewhere.
The way Dana and Zuffa did a complete 180 on this clearly has nothing to do with whether they can put on some exciting women's fights, we've seen exciting women's fights for years now. It's that they saw an opening with some marketable women they thought they could make money off of.
If you think Dana suddenly likes and respects WMMA, you're kidding yourself!

You're right, he's probably a sexist male chauvenist douchebag just like most of the guys on here, right?

Everybody was ga-ga over Tate after the void of Carano leaving the sport.Hence the Gif of her rear bouncing in the middle of a takedown.
There is a trend of good looking women getting attention of advertisers, but that is true in every sport, male or female.
But people are crazy when they say that they do not evaluate male fighters based on how they look. It has nothing to do with threatening your personal sexuality, but plenty of people form opinions on fights and the outcome on something as superficial as how a fighter's body looks. It just so happens that what people find sexual appealing, is also the desired body look of someone in great physical shape.
