I boxed in the late seventies through the early eighties. It's taken me forever to embrace the MMA. I have two sons in their early and mid twenties that sort of dragged me into the sport. I've watched a few episodes of Ultimate Fighter over the years. But, this was the first time I ever watched an entire season. To be honest, the women provided the best action. I also have to admit to developing a celebrity crush with Miesha Tate. She has a little bit of a nose going on, but otherwise, that gal is delicious!
For all the MMA fans, any chance in hell she can beat Rousy in a rematch? Or, should I just look forward to her getting her arm broken again?

If you weren't attracted to Tate (or Rousey), something is wrong with you, they are both fine specimens.
But to answer your question, I've been watching for the last seven years, and there is absolutely a chance for Rousey to lose. Tate is +650, but anything can happen in a fight, history proves that over and over again. All it takes is one right hand like we've seen with Jonny Hendrix in the past, or one screw up on the ground, and BOOM, tap out, just like Anthony Pettis did to Henderson a couple months ago.
I'll be putting a few diet cokes on that fight (On Tate to win).
And yes, the women on TUF were much more entertaining to watch then the men. You should watch TUF season's 3, 5, 8, and 10- Those are the best ones hand's down. I've seen them all.

If you go back and watch Rondas fights meisha is the only I've seen to give her a run for her money. I'm with Meisha all the way.

Rousey is a one trick pony. Problem is, she's really really good at that one trick. She is hard to beat because none of the chicks that fight her have judo skills or judo defense skills the she has. Once she gets girls down, it's just a matter of time before the armbar comes.
Tate has much better striking but that does her no good on the ground. The key for her is to keep the fight standing as long as possible and do damage.
Ronda's striking is improving as time goes on so she may get harder to beat as time passes.

Everyone eventually loses to someone, but i don't think that Tate will beat Rousey..
