While it appears likely that Miesha Tate will be standing across the cage when Ronda Rousey makes her eventual UFC return later this year, if the emerging Hollywood actress ever fights Holly Holm in a rematch as was originally intended, Holm’s coach Mike Winkeljohn is confident that the outcome will be similar to the first Rousey-Holm bout.

Winkeljohn spoke about a potential Rousey-Holm rematch during his appearance this week on Submission Radio.

“You know what, I think that Ronda knows that she’s already beaten Miesha twice. So if she’s going to come back, I think she was a little intimidated by Holly coming back and that, you know, it won’t change her fight with Ronda. I’m still very confident that if Holly fights Ronda it would be the same outcome again just because the way their styles are, and I think it will be different next time she fights Miesha. I think Miesha has improved as a fighter and I think she’s tremendous at what she does, so I love the competition and I think the fans want to see more of it, what these ladies can do.”

According to Winkeljohn, however, Rousey isn’t “anywhere close to coming back anyway.”

“I don’t think Ronda Rousey is anywhere close to coming back anyway. So hopefully Miesha is willing to pay back Holly. Holly didn’t wait for Ronda, gave Miesha a shot at it and hopefully Miesha repays the favour.”

Jon Jones: Holly Holm Will Be A UFC Champion Again

Jon Jones is confident that former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm get the title belt back one day. Following her loss to Miesha Tate at UFC 196, Jones explained why he has “no doubt” Holm will bounce back. Jones and Holm are training teammates at JacksonWink MMA.

“I’m not worried about Holly too much. I know for a fact that her best is yet to come. It really is. She will hold the belt again,” Jones told FOX Sports. “No doubt in my mind.”

“Holly’s an amazing champion. She’s an amazing person, an amazing citizen. She will be back from this so much stronger. Holly, she’s a rookie in this sport and with that being said, she’s one of the greatest of all time already. So her potential is just sky high. I mean there’s no cap on her potential,” Jones said.

“Just wait till she gets the game down. She’s going to be scary,” Jones said. “It would be great for Ronda (Rousey) and for Miesha Tate for Holly to go and crawl up and feel as if her dreams were crushed tonight, but literally they know that was one of the worst things that could have happened to them. Holly’s going to come back with some serious vengeance.”

Holm is expected to face the winner of Ronda Rousey vs. Tate 3 later this year. Jones will next fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 197 on April 23rd in his octagon return.

Dana White On Holm’s Loss To Tate: “She Went Out Like A Gangster”

While Dana White may have preferred Holly Holm wait for the Ronda Rousey rematch instead of taking a fight during the interim, the UFC President couldn’t help but admire the way “The Preacher’s Daughter” went out at UFC 196.

Holm was choked out by Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 196 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, but according to White, “she went out like a gangster.”

“She went out like a gangster,” said White during his appearance on the Max and Marcellus show. “She get choked, she held on, she tried to fight the choke.”

White continued, “Holly Holm technically did everything right to fight the choke. She went up against the fence so Miehsa couldn’t get her other hook in. Then Miesha held on to that choke so tight, she knew she was getting choked, so she got off the fence and tried to dump her on her head, and Miesha still didn’t let go. Those two women both, the way Miesha took that drop on the head, and the way Holly didn’t tap, gangsters.”

Miesha Tate: Trilogy Fight With Ronda Rousey Isn’t Set In Stone

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate seems to be up for whatever the UFC wants to do regarding her next fight.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate seems to be up for whatever the UFC wants to do regarding her next fight. She could fight Ronda Rousey for a third time or she could give ex-UFC champ Holly Holm a rematch following their fight at UFC 196, which Tate won by fifth-round rear-naked choke.

Tate told ESPN’s The Dan Le Batard Show that nothing with Rousey is set in stone.

“I don’t know if [the Rousey fight] is even confirmed yet,” Tate said. “I know everyone is so excited, and everyone wants to know what’s next, but for me in this moment, I can’t get ahead of myself. As far as the next matchup, I still have to talk to my management and the UFC and nothing has been confirmed. I don’t really know what’s next. There are a lot of tough girls in this division, and I don’t know when I’d be fighting next or anything.”

Rousey has beaten Tate twice. Rousey beat Tate in March of 2012 by first-round armbar then in December of 2013 at UFC 168; Rousey submitted Tate with an armbar in the third round.

On the flip side, Holm is doing fine following her first loss of her career and said during a recent interview that she is heartbroken but ready to get back in the gym.

“I’m doing fine. I’m healthy, I’m good. I could train tomorrow,” Holm told JacksonWink Raw. “As far as my heart, I’m heartbroken. It’s a sour ending to UFC 196, but I’m ready to get back.”

Holm then explained that she wants a rematch with Tate.

“I want a rematch. Miesha’s been around a long time. She’s a tough champion so I’m sure she’ll want to take the fight so let’s do it.”

“I haven’t watched it, but I’ve replayed [the fight] in my head 1000 times,” said Holm. “Not just the last round but the second round, as well. It’s obviously something I need to work on. There’s a lot of things I wasn’t doing right, things that I know better, already.

“I gave you a shot, give me a shot. I’m not going to let you choke me out again.”

UFC President Dana White has already confirmed that Rousey vs. Tate 3 is set for later this year so it appears that Holm will have to wait to get her rematch.

While the MMA world has been buzzing about a trilogy bout between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate following Tate’s upset victory over Holly Holm at UFC 196 last Saturday night, the new UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion still isn’t sure who she will be defending the title against first.

“I don’t know if [the Rousey fight] is even confirmed yet,” Tate said during ESPN’s “The Dan Le Batard Show”. “I know everyone is so excited and everyone wants to know what’s next, but for me in this moment, I can’t get ahead of myself. As far as the next matchup, I still have to talk to my management and the UFC and nothing has been confirmed. I don’t really know what’s next. There are a lot of tough girls in this division and I don’t know when I’d be fighting next or anything.”

For her part, Holm is looking to secure a rematch against Tate as soon as humanly possible.

“I’m doing fine. I’m healthy, I’m good. I could train tomorrow,” Holm told JacksonWink Raw. “As far as my heart, I’m heartbroken. It’s a sour ending to UFC 196 but I’m ready to get back.

“I want a rematch. Miesha’s been around a long time. She’s a tough champion so I’m sure she’ll want to take the fight so let’s do it.”
