It looks like two old rivals will be reunited for a third time, as Miesha Tate will defend her newly-won women’s Bantamweight title against former division queen, Ronda Rousey.

That’s according to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White, who revealed during the post-fight recap show that “Cupcake’s” first title defense will be against “Rowdy” later this year.

Plus, as White stated, Ronda didn’t bother watching the fight, so he had to fill her in with the results. His words via FOX Sports:

“I think that Ronda now will fight Miesha Tate for the title. That’s what’s going to happen. That’s what I said before this fight even happened. Whoever wins tonight will fight Ronda for the title. I texted Ronda — Ronda wasn’t watching the fight. I text Ronda and she said ‘what happened?’ I said ‘Miesha just choked her unconscious’ and she said ‘looks like I’ve got to get back to work.’ She’s scheduled to not come back until October or November but it doesn’t mean I can’t ask.”

Tate won the title after choking out Holly Holm in the fifth and final round of their co-main event bout at last night’s (Sat. March 5, 2016) UFC 196 pay-per-view (PPV) event (full recap here).

Rousey and Tate initially went toe-to-toe in 2012 under the Strikeforce banner, as Ronda submitted Tate via first-round armbar to capture the 135-pound strap. A year later, the two ladies collided at UFC 168, as Rousey held on to her UFC title by catching Miesha in another armbar, this time in the third round.

As White revealed, there is no timetable for Ronda’s return thanks to her Hollywood duties — which are currently on pause — but the boss isn’t opposed to trying to convince her to come back sooner, rather than later.

Maybe to headline or co-headline UFC 200 on July 9, 2016.

UFC 196: Scorecards show Tate vs. Holm close to going to a draw

If Miesha Tate didn’t get a finish in the fifth round of her title fight with Holly Holm, the fight may very well have gone to a draw.

The UFC 196 co-main event was very close to ending as a stalemate. Miesha Tate and Holly Holm engaged in a great, back-and-forth bout that had a lot of people wondering what would have happened if Tate didn’t get a submission victory with just 90 seconds left in the fight. Well, enter Sherdog to post the scorecards for the bout:

This is actually quite interesting. For one, every judge had the same card. All gave Holm rounds 1, 3, and 4, and all gave Tate a 10-8 second (which is absolutely the right call). So if Tate had been able to control Holm on the ground for the rest of the fifth round but was unable to put her away, all three judges likely would have had it 47-47. A draw. Holm would have retained the title, and there probably would have been an immediate rematch.

Instead, Tate did indeed make Holm tap and she’s the new women’s bantamweight champion. Next on the horizon for her appears to be a third bout with Ronda Rousey.

Conor McGregor Wants To Defend Featherweight Title At UFC 200

Current UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is coming off a loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 196 and looking to return in a few months. McGregor, who had several options for him going into this fight, plans to go back down to 145lb and make his first title defense. “It’s hard not to give (Jose)

“It’s hard not to give (Jose) Aldo another go,” McGregor said. “He was 10 years undefeated. But again, he pulls out a lot; he doesn’t show up. Frankie (Edgar) at least gets in there and competes. I don’t know.

“I’ll keep my ear to the ground and see who the fans want to see the most. But then I’ll sit and wait patiently for the lightweight belt to be contested.”

McGregor believes that Diaz will fight Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC lightweight title next.

“I believe Nate will maybe fight dos Anjos now,” he said. “I think after I defend myself and climb back up, I think I will get my shot at that lightweight belt once again. Maybe Nate and I could do it again.”

McGregor was asked by the media at the post-fight presser when he would like to fight next. McGregor said that he would like to return at the UFC 200 PPV event in Las Vegas in July.

“I still feel UFC 200 is there for me, but I’ll go back and sit,” he said. “I’m not cut. I’m simply heartbroken, and that’s it. I’ll pick myself up, and we’ll figure it out in the morning.”

“It lived up to everything it was supposed to be,” White said. “It was awesome. When you deal with people who’ve seen it all, done it all, been everywhere, the big sporting events, and everybody’s standing around going, ‘Holy (expletive), what just happened?’ That’s fun. Tonight was a great night.”
