It should come as little surprise that Dana White was talking with Ronda about returning to the cage during the UFC 196 card. While Tate vs. Holm was a big, fun fight, the UFC Prez knows which fighters are the top draws, and tries to make friends with them, and blows off everyone else.
White told ESPN about his interaction with Rousey:
“I think that Ronda now will fight Miesha Tate for the title. That’s what’s going to happen. That’s what I said before this fight even happened. Whoever wins tonight will fight Ronda for the title. I text Ronda, and she said, ‘What happened?’ I said, ‘Miesha just choked her unconscious.’ She said, ‘Looks like I gotta get back to work.'”
