    I think people aren't giving Tate enough credit. At this point I see Tate as a bigger threat then Rousey. Rousey had absolutely horrible striking but Tate's is at least decent and she can mix it in with her wrestling. Tate fought an olympic wrestler and took her down multiple times which isn't easy. That being said I would still put money on Holm but don't expect Tate to be crushed.

    Jerry, Im sure as the sun will rise tomorrow morning that Holm will beat the hell out of Miesha next month. There's nothing in her game that Tate will offer to Holly. Absolutely nothing. At least Rousey had an amazing grappling skills which is second to none. And we all know what happened last November with that amazing ground game vs a superb stand up game. Cupcake has none of that. If she decides to fight Holly standing, I doubt Miesha will remain standing by the end of round one. I see Holly wiping the floor with Miesha as soon as the bell signals the fight.

    Ultimately it is going to come down to Holly Holm's footwork that wins the fight for her. In my opinion, I believe Holly is still superior over Miesha when it comes to striking. Don't get me wrong, Miesha Tate has some nasty combinations that might clip Holly a few times, but like I said in the beginning, it's Holly Holm's footwork that prevents Miesha from capitalizing on any opportunities. Holly Holm will use the same techniques that she did in her fight against Ronda. Keys to victory for her are: keeping the distance, precise striking and incredible endurance.

    We won't know till it actually starts. One thing I do know is Holm is respectful of her opponent. I hope she has opponents that practice a "Tate's" style approach to fighting so Holm can strategist against it. I don't think Rhonda Roussey had respect for Holm and got beat the way she did.

    Holmes is going to finish her by round 2. Tate is too reckless and she will pay for it worse than Ronda. She will also get hit with a lot of knees if she attempted a takedown because she don't stand a chance on the feet. Get ready for a demolition folks.
