- Following her third successful title defense—between Strikeforce and the UFC—at UFC 168 on Saturday, pundits assumed women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would meet fellow undefeated fighter Cat Zingano next.
The bout made sense: "Alpha" earned her shot at the belt with a victory over Miesha Tate on the season 17 finale of The Ultimate Fighter in April.
Unfortunately, a torn ACL sidelined Zingano from ever cashing in on a title bout, so Tate took her place coaching season 18 of TUF, as well as at UFC 168.
However, even after Dana White declared Zingano still to be the division's No. 1 contender, per Mookie Alexander of Bloody Elbow, he proceeded to announce Rousey vs. Sara McMann at UFC 170 on February 22.
Zingano, currently ranked the No. 1 contender in the UFC's official women's bantamweight rankings, took to twitter on Monday to announce her displeasure about the situation:
- Quote :
- Alpha Cat Zingano ✔ @CatZingano
Follow
Ill fight @RondaRousey in the @UFC with a blown ACL right now. I dont want to lose my opportunity. Ill take her at 100% or not & win
Also, at the post-fight press conference, White explained that Rousey wanted a quick turnaround—since she fought only twice in 2013—and that Zingano would not be healthy in time for the February pay-per-view.
The UFC's head honcho also made note that Zingano is already penciled in to get the winner of Rousey vs. McMann. continued... | |
