Zingano Hurt; It's RONDA ROUSEY vs. MIESHA TATE 2

[EmpireWF]

Zingano hurt her knee a couple weeks back and Dana kept it a secret until TUF 18 taping began today.

Miesha is in and gets the rematch with Ronda later this year.

Lol @ the WWE....I mean the UFC again

Isn't there plenty of time to establish a new #1 contender?

Can't Tate at least face somebody first, and have the winner face Rousey?

Not with TUF.

Not with TUF.

TUF means nothing in 2013.

Zigano could have coached hurt while a contender was established.

I know this isn't plausible and they have to do their fake grudge TUF thing, but does TUF really build a buyrate anymore?

They'll pop a big buyrate TUF or not it's Ronda Rousey.

Pretty much.

Plus, TUF will now be on the Fox Sports 1 network so #s will almost certainly be rougher for it regardless of Rousey.

As for Zingano, not sure about her knee. She was in surgery this week and who knows how long she'll be out of action. They wanted to move ahead without worrying about it so they stick Tate in there.

EDIT...It's a torn ACL & MCL for Zingano, so she'll be out into next year.
