5 Lessons From The Fallout Of UFC 178

4. Cat Zingano Should Get Ronda Rousey Next

If Dana White is true to his word, Cat Zingano will be the next fighter to face Ronda Rousey. It wasn't a completely dominant fight - she got off to a shaky start - but it was enough to get the win, and she got better as the fight went on. Finishing Nunes in the third probably sealed the deal as she'll head into the potential Rousey fight with a finish over a strong opponent. With Gina Carano not signed, Cyborg still working on the cut to 135lbs, and Holly Holm still to have her first UFC fight, it's the best bout they can make. Bethe Coreia would be another viable option, but Cat has a bigger name and deserves the fight after going through pretty much a nightmare over the past year and a half.
