I'll admit I'm more excited about this @MieshaTate vs @HollyHolm fight than I expected. These ladies have real skill and grit.

— Todd Duffee (@ToddDuffee) March 6, 2016

I was undecided, but I'm finding myself pulling for Miesha. If it wasn't for Ronda, she would have had the belt. She deserves it. #UFC196

Miesha looking better than she's ever looked right now, IMO
