And official rematch from Rousey and Holm? Ugh... I hope it is another beat down just for the sake of a Ronda fail.

According to Rogan in his podcast, Holm should make about $7m in the rematch.


But should Holm even want to take it right now or hold out? Let's be real, if they wait, Ronda gets a bounce back win and Holm gets a title defense, it will be a bigger fight. This rush back to give Ronda, who was fucking dominated, a rematch is going to kill her hype of she gets equally destroyed. And that is bad for the UFC.

I would hate to see Holm lose in the meantime. She's had such a long career and this is finally the payday of a lifetime for her.

If that figure is right its best they capitalize on it. No guarantee Holm beats Tate. Holm hasn't really looked great against anyone in the UFC except Rousey. And I think everyone kinda thinks the blueprint has now been written on Rousey. Might as well match them up again now. Fighters get great money, and the UFC gets a huge PPV. Thats all money in the bank. Either one of them loses in the interim and everything gets flushed down the toilet.

Who the fuck released this fucking shit?

Did they ever ask Aldo if he was actually ok with it being released?

The douchebags behind this release have been revealed...the UFC.

The streaming footage from inside fighters’ locker rooms is still a pretty new development for the UFC. UFC officials told MMAjunkie that the organization first tried it at UFC 189, when McGregor fought Chad Mendes, and continued it for this event, offering fans a chance to view both locker rooms on the UFC’s website throughout the night.

While that is true, the loser in the rematch had no career other than jobber. If Ronda is destroyed again, she is done. If Holm loses, she is equally done.

And who cares if Holm loses before then? Forcing a rematch is just silly. Ronda's hype train will be pumped up again regardless of who her opponent is. Also, if Holm loses, she can fight Ronda who is on the way up. An automatic title shot after getting destroyed is ridiculous.

Similarly with Aldo, though his defeat was a perfect punch kind of situation. He didn't look to have been dominated 2 rounds before that punch came.

Not at all. If Holm loses then you have the rubber match. And they cant protect Rousey forever. Even if she gets a different fight, she still has to beat Holm to maintain her hype.

If Holm loses before the rematch she is definitely done. Fighting Tate isnt a big fight compared to a rematch with Rousey. Holm losing diminishes the whole division, because we know Tate couldnt beat Rousey, and Holm destroyed her. The only reason Holm got to fight Rousey was because no one really wanted to see Tate and Rousey fight again. If Rogan was right about the money Holm would get, there really isnt any other option thats better for both fighters. Its not like they are going to fight in 3 months. 6-7 months at the earliest is a long enough time for Rousey.

Similarly with Aldo, though his defeat was a perfect punch kind of situation. He didn't look to have been dominated 2 rounds before that punch came.

I think Aldo has more of a case for an immediate rematch because one could make the case that a one shot KO so early was a fluke. Plus, Aldo hadnt fought in 14 months.

Wow! I thought Macdonald was gonna crush that poor JMMA fella. Instead he got dominated on the ground, nearly finished (which reminded me of the Barao fight), then out of nowhere gets a RNC.

I think Conduit got robbed. Well, may not robbed...but he was definitely hosed. He should have had at least 3 rounds (1, 3, 4), and 5 was a toss up. Even Lawler's corner kinda felt it by saying he needed 4, 5, and one of the first things Lawler said was they could do it again. I guess I don't put much stock in perceived power shots vs overall command if the power can't hurt the opponent. Lawler actually seemed hurt more in the fight.

It's been confirmed Holly Holm will fight before the Rousey rematch!

good. I didn't think it was right that HH had to sit on the sidelines while RR went and did movies/tv etc. It would be one thing if she was training and trying to plug the holes in her game.

Also he wanted them to have the rematch at UFC 200. just no way in hell that was going to happen.

Just gives Holly more time with the belt until Rhonda destroys her.

So that would make...eternity plus...?

Looking forward to the mcgregor dos anjos match. Finally we'll see if the little leprechaun is actually is a great fighter. Personally I think mcgregor is going in as a chicken and coming out as scrambled eggs.

He must see something in RDA that he can exploit, but it seems like a big mistake. RDA looks like a world beater right now, and he's been active unlike Aldo. I expected Conor to talk trash for awhile to build it up, but if he loses he probably wont get another shot at 155 unless he vacates 145. Seems risky, but you gotta give him props for going for it.

People will say he's proven everyone wrong so far and that's what he does. But I think you can't lose respect for the mountain one is climbing and as a result climb it too fast. Dos Anjos and 155 is a huge mountain. That said, if McGregor legitimately wins, he's mma royalty, and not just in the marketing sense, but in the real sense (which granted, many think he is already.)

Well people do get destroyed for hubris, but I respect attempt even if he comes up short.
