Known for making fights ugly and mixing up her striking and takedowns in a dynamic fashion, Tate is an unquestionable threat in the UFC women’s bantamweight division. In November, Holm beat Rousey for that title.

Neither champion needed to take the fights they’re facing, but neither betrays any sign of worry about stepping into the MGM Grand Garden Arena cage. “I want to make sure I make the most of this fight and not look past it”. The PPV fight card consists of five fights, including two light heavyweight fights and two women’s bantamweight fights.

Holm (10-1) threw a left that Tate slipped and dipped to grab Holm by the waist.
