10 Consequences Of Ronda Rousey Losing Her UFC Championship
9. Miesha Tate Will Probably Wait Even Longer For A Title Shot
Miesha Tate has won four straight fights in the UFC since her last loss to Ronda Rousey, has looked great doing so, and was promised a title shot against Rousey by Dana White. Then he went back on his word, causing the division's second most popular fighter to openly talk about retirement. Holly Holm got the title shot instead. Well, she made the most of it. However, since there will almost certainly be a rematch between Holm and Rousey as the next women's bantamweight title fight, and since Rousey is taking time off first for movies and to regroup, Miesha Tate will be stuck waiting even longer. If she takes a fight in the meantime - and she'll probably have to - she also has the dangerous prospect of losing, and therefore losing her bid for another title shot. It seems like Cupcake just can't take a break.
