Preparation eliminates the element of surprise. So if Dana White calls up Miesha Tate to square up against Holly Holm before UFC 200, there should be no surprise for the task at hand if and when that call comes in.
Training at Xtreme Couture with Heather Clark and Gina Mazany, “Cupcake” is putting in the work in hopes for that title call to come. Holm has been vocal about possibly getting it on before this summers blockbuster event in Las Vegas NV, why shouldn’t she?
Holm is in the prime of her MMA career and to shelf that kind of talent would be a financial detriment to a company looking to make it ‘bigger and better’ year over year.
The UFC tentatively has reserved the Madison Square Garden on April 23rd for a highly anticipated Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier rematch at UFC 198 without knowing for certain whether or not New York will allow the UFC to host an event there.
