How Cat Zingano Gets Another Title Shot.

There is a lot happening in the UFC women's bantamweight weight division in 2015. The undisputed champion Ronda Rousey will defend her title outside of the United States for the first time against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 while Miesha Tate will face Jessica Eye at UFC Fight Night Chicago. But what about the #1 contender?

Cat Zingano was thought to be the female fighter that would be a threat to Ronda Rousey. After Zingano beat Miesha Tate in a great women's bantamweight match, Zingano was set to coach against Rousey and get a title shot. But a knee injury would result in Tate getting that shot. After returning from her injury and moving past the loss of her husband, Zingano defeated Amanda Nunes to earn her the number one contender spot. Her match against Rousey for the title would last a mere 14 seconds. Zingano started the match by rushing towards the champion and would end up in a horrible position and give up her arm to Rousey. Zingano was disappointed and immediately asked for a rematch. Dana White said it was not out of the question. So does the she earn the shot? What can the UFC do to keep the division interesting?

Even after her loss to Rousey, Cat Zingano is still the #1 contender which means she is not far away from another title fight. If she were to face the winner of Tate vs. Eye, it would make for a great match to determine who would face the champion.

Why Alister Overeem should consider fighting Junior Dos Santos

The UFC heavyweight division has had no shortage of stars. When you can put a guy to sleep with a single punch, there's no denying fight fans will want to see you do it again and again. Junior Dos Santos and Alister Overeem are two of those guys. The question is: why haven't these two guys crossed paths? Junior Dos Santos used an overhand right to become the UFC's heavyweight champ during the first UFC on Fox. After a defense of his title to Frank Mir he would go on to have two more fights with Cain Velasquez.  A total of 50 minutes of fighting at UFC 155 & 166 proved that while not the champion, Junior Dos Santos would be standing in the way of anyone trying to become UFC heavyweight champion.  His last fight took place at UFC fight night in Phoenix, AZ with Stipe Mioci c . JDS would once again go five rounds with a top 10 heavyweight, walking away with a decision victory. Another force to be reckoned with in the Heavyweight division is for Strike Force and F1 divisi

What Nunes Needs to Do To Keep The Title

It will be the last fight of the year, the return of Ronda Rousey, and the first time Amanda Nunes defends her Bantamweight title. That should be reason enough to watch UFC 207, but what if it's also the last time Rousey takes a walk to the octagon? Amanda Nunes has a chance to prove that it is in fact "her time" to reign as Bantamweight Champion. With very little film on how to defeat Rousey she will have to study the UFC 193 tape, lucky for her it is all she will need. Holly Holm showed the world how to avoid the arm-bar, all she did was... avoid the arm-bar. But how did she do it? Its simple, she did not allow Rousey to tie her up in a clinch. She kept her distance and hit Rousey harder than she's ever been hit. Rosuey is not able to take many punches and is quick to go for muay thai clinch, right into her Judo, and into the arm-bar. That's what Nunes' needs to avoid. Rousey will do what she is so used to doing, she will charge at Nunes and try to
