Miesha Tate Holds Ronda Rousey's Career In Her Hands

The UFC women's bantamweight champion was in a jovial mood and pulled a youngster out from the crowd to join in her up on stage showing off her infamous sprinkler dance move. "A different fight, just tougher in different areas, obviously".

It would be completely understandable if Holm was upset about not being the headliner, but instead she has said she is fine with it. Holm is instead more concerned about defending her bantamweight title that she took away from Rousey via knockout in her last fight.

"Every fight starts there (in standup)", she said. "Holly's used to staying active". So much so that "Rowdy" says she wants to be the only woman who would be able to do it, to serve as a form of revenge. I want to see if Tate can pull it all on the line and bring home the title this time, or if this will cement Holm's new run as champion. "Even more of an important fight", Holm told FOX Sports Wednesday. It's not the kind of pressure that's reckless abandon, its not going to be desperation. Is she the real deal? "I respect Holly but she's not going to get the results she's looking for in this fight".

A Holm loss to Tate would be devastating to the UFC. "I want to win whether it's for the belt or not, and that's just what I want to focus on, is the victory". They say you're not a true champion until you've defended your title, and that is what Holm is tasked with on Saturday.

Though the ghosts of her previous failures certainly could be floating somewhere in her mind in the days leading to the fight, Tate isn't taking anything for granted this time around.

Meanwhile, MMAFighting reports that Holm's coach Mike Winkeljohn believes Holly will KO Tate in the second round.

It is believed that the victor of this match will fight Ronda Rousey who is still recovering from her first ever loss. "I know when I go out there and take the belt it is going to cause a huge shift in their plans and I want to do so in emphatic fashion". McGregor vs. Diaz is very much a fan-friendly fight on paper, but it's a last-minute replacement to a historic champion vs. champion fight with McGregor making a big for winning two belts in two weight classes. "I think Holly's got two, maybe three years tops", he said. In that moment the Washington state native's climb from scrappy unknown to the forefront of a surging women's MMA movement had hit full stride and Tate was quick to share her elation and hard-earned sense of accomplishment with the media in attendance. What you see is what you get.
