[The G.O.D II]

should it? Did you see the unstoppable presser? Like 85% of the announced fights were unwarranted rematches

Uhh yea 100 was a major show. This show is all over the place and booked dumb

 

[The G.O.D II]

You still haven't given any reason for an immediate rematch for Holm. It's not like the fans were frothing at mouth when the 1st fight was announced

Uhh she was winning the first match before the Hail Mary RNC? What reason does Weidman get after being dominated? Or Ronda who they would have given a rematch to no question?

 

[Kane]

She might've been winning but she wasn't dominating that fight.

And that was Holly's first title defense.

You can't expect her to get an auto-rematch like those other guys.

 

[Roman Brady]

Uhh she was winning the first match before the Hail Mary RNC?

but but she didn't win you can get kudos for a good try but an immediate rematch for the title? Ain't seen retarded booking like that since sonnen/Silva but at least with that we knew it was driven by money

What reason does Weidman get after being dominated? Or Ronda who they would have given a rematch to no question?

they actually defended their title

 

[Roman Brady]

@The G.O.D II so now the master plan is tate/Ronda 3? Are you forgetting that Dana practically told miesha to retire if she felt like it not long ago? Holly v Ronda 2 would do more than tate/rousey 3, zuffa knew that which is why they were butt hurt at the result of 196

Khabib is fighting Darrell Horcher now at UFC on Fox 19 at 160lbs. Sounds like they wanna give him a tune up fight before RdA

 

[BlackSuperman]

Never successfully defended the belt and lost in a very ordinary but definitive way. Just beating Ronda shouldn't afford her the world

Agreed. She would have only defended her belt via draw (they showed the scorecards) so it's not like she was knocking Tate's dome off and then got surprised subbed.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Holly manager said Meisha turned down the rematch

Zero sum game good for her

 

[FaTaL]

Holly manager said Meisha turned down the rematch

Since when does Tate have mcgregor power to veto fights?

More like Dana pulling the strings

Picture: Miesha Tate-Holly Holm Scorecard from UFC 196 Drawed, not won.

Sonnen fought and beat two top 10ers (Bisping and Stann) before Silva II so even that was a better example.

Khabib's likely going to win but Horcher ain't no joke. 12-1 CFFC lightweight champion (decent regional organization) and:

He only fought 2 top 10ers because he got busted for juicin. A couple of days after the original fight it was all but official that sonnen would get a rematch for losing to a champion just despicable

It was the biggest fight in the history of that deadass division though. In what way was making the rematch everyone wanted bad booking?
