Just because you killed Jesse James doesn’t make you Jesse James

Whatever happened to you have to defend your belt to be the champ? I didn’t make this term up, it’s been going around since boxing in its heyday.  So, why are people talking about Miesha Tate – Holly Holm 2 is the fight to make.  Did Holly dominate all five rounds.  Was this a crazy split decision? Did Miesha Tate heel kick her vag four times before sinking in the choke.  When Miesha Tate got Holly to the ground she had no answer.  She finished the fight, Holly went to sleep, there is no controversy.  The rematch doesn’t need to happen. I can see people saying Lawler-Condit 2 has to happen because that decision is determined on how you score that third round.   That’s not the case here, the women who won, is the won celebrating with the belt, and the person who lost woke up looking depressed.   

Holly Holm wasn’t a long standing champion she just beat Ronda Rousey.   It’s time to mix it up, it’s time to get a fresh face in title contention. Remember the Light Heavyweight division had a revolving door.    Did Forrest Griffin, Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, or Rashad Evans get an immediate rematch. NO!! Well, Shogun did but that’s because it was controversial split decision against Machida.

Like any champion, you want to take on all comers, solidifying that you are the best.  To do that you have to fight everyone in the division and clear it out.  She isn’t ducking Holly because she just beat Holly.   Holly couldn’t defend her belt one time.  She doesn’t deserve a rematch just because she beat Ronda Rousey.  Just because you beat Ronda Rousey doesn’t make you Ronda Rousey.  Doesn’t make you a superstar.  Her other two fights were not memorable.  Just because you kicked one girl in the face doesn’t make you a world beater.   Rant Over.
