To me that was tactical not boring Miesha is not a boxer she is a wrestler so she is going to fight to her strength not her weakness. If you look at Holly she is just waiting to land a punch combo or kick just from her stance because she's a boxer primarily. Ronda fought outside of her strength thus she lost love her or hate her Miesha fought smart that's why she won. Do you think Ali could have beaten Forman if they had just stood in the middle of the ring and just slugged it out from the start no way. My 2 cents

Upset as Miesha Tate defeats Holly Holm by 5th-round submission at 3:30 to become the women's 135-pound Bantaweight Division Championship. From what I heard that Miesha didn't do much until she had a 20 second sequence that has enough to win the match.

Then what you heard was BS. Miesha nearly finished her in the 2nd (potential 10-8 round) and was competitive, but losing, throughout.

I said before the fight that Holly had never faced a wrestler and that Miesha's takedowns are a completely different type than a judoka like Ronda uses. Miesha landed two takedowns and dominated on the ground after both of them. Holly is a phenomenal standup fighter, but Miesha is much better than Ronda on the feet, can take a punch unlike Ronda, and actually has coaches that can put together a real gameplan. Styles make fights and Miesha's style is exactly why I thought she had a chance.

With that said, now she gets Ronda again and I'm not sure if she's improved enough to beat Ronda as that's a lousy style matchup for Miesha.

There was nothing boring about the fight. It was a great chess match between two fighters who excel at completely different aspects of the sport. I'll take that over two fat heavyweights clumsily stumbling around the cage throwing sloppy punches with no defense. That fight was an easy 4 star fight on a 5 star scale. Not epic, but very good and full of legitimate drama.

If the fight appeared boring to some people...Holly is the one to blame for it. I am glad that she lost. Her fighting style is way too defensive, she appears like she does not want to lose rather than to win her matches and that does not make her fights look exciting at all. None of her matches were action filled, exciting fights. After the huge mistake Ronda made rushing in to win too quickly, it is totally understandable that Miesha was cautious. All other Miesha's fights were full of action and exciting. I am glad Miesha won. I believe Ronda will beat both these women when they have rematches.
