You think she should retire instead of collect the biggest payday of her career? She shouldn't risk the financial loss.

As Dana always says fighters only have a small window of opportunity, so lets shelf a healthy 34 year old champ for 8 months.
UFC is a joke sometimes.
Fabes - She shouldn't have to wait. Let Miesha fight her and Ronda can have the winner. It's better for Ronda if Miesha wins anyway.

I didn't say that. I said threaten to retire not retire.
All she would have to do is publicly state I'm retiring if the UFC doesn't let me fight before July and state her reasons why. The UFC would fold.

Soup and Beer -ILoveWatchingJonesBoneShogun - If she fights and loses, she will 2nd guess that request for the rest of her life
Let's not forget, she just beat a barely 500 fighter by split decision earlier in the year
Well, her trainers say she was sandbagging on those matches to give Ronda a false sense of where her skills were. At first I thought that was B.S. but maybe she was.
tenchu -I'm calling bullshit on that claim. Her coaches decided to risk a win (and subsequent title shot) by slow-playing Holly's abilities all the way to a split decision over Pennington just because someday she was going to fight Ronda?Soup and Beer -ILoveWatchingJonesBoneShogun - If she fights and loses, she will 2nd guess that request for the rest of her life

Boom, Miesha tells Dana he better change things or she will retire......Dana tells her go ahead. Funny we haven't heard from her since. In her defense she may be busy with Mr. Tate hiding under her tit though.

Holly is the undisputed champion who destroyed the former champion. Miesha has little leverage and Holly has all the leverage in the world. Holly's not going to give the UFC ultimatum but if she did she would win.
springfield -While I do agree with Holly about not wanting to wait until July for a fight, no fighter is above the promotion including Rousey.mongo54 -BRZ -springfield -How would that help Holly though?

I like how so many people support fighters to go against the wishes of the UFC as if it's different from publicly criticizing your employer in any other job. I also like how MMA fans think the UFC is some sort of non-profit organization and should act accordingly.
Why would they reward Meisha for criticizing the company? Why would they want to hold a fight that nobody cares about and they make no money on when they could hold one that makes them buckets of money. It also jeopardizes the money fight.
Carogan - You guys have no clue.She has one chance to get the Ronda rematch right. She'd be stupid to do anything other than maximize her earnings for it.
What Holly is doing right now is negotiating for the biggest payday she can get in a rematch with Ronda. She's not stupid - there is absolutely no way on earth that she is going to risk losing in a fight before a Ronday rematch.
The pay day for the 2nd fight will likely be more than all of her future fights combined.
What's good for the UFC is also good for Holly. They are looking to maximize their income just as much as she is. But Holly needs to use leverage to give the UFC reasons to pay her more - the threat of taking an earlier fight is certainly one way of doing it, just as well as threatening to turn down a Ronda fight/retiring is another way.
I wouldn't mind Holm Zingano. I think Zingano had a legit shot at Rousey and just got stupid. There are questions similar to McGregor Aldo, because it ended so quick. I think it's a good matchup because either winning sets up a good fight for Rousey regardless of how it starts out.
she should just have a baby now
Let her smash Miesha. Fucking criminal to not let a 34 year old world champion make the money she can, while she can.
Buck Nasty - She shouldn't have to wait around for eggs baby girl heal up.Yep. Dana is of course a businessman thinking about money.
