Miesha "Cupcake" Tate (18-5) defeated Holly "Preacher's Daughter" Holm (33-2-3) at UFC 197 by a fifth round submission to claim her first UFC Bantamweight title. Holm received her first loss in the UFC. Holm also lead the fight in total strikes late into round five when Miesha Tate got on Holm's back and grabbed on to a rear naked choke. Holm did not tap out. The fight was called when she went unconscious.
The fight was Holly Holm's first UFC title defense, fresh off of her two round victory of Ronda Rousey. Holm immediately stated after the fight that she wanted a rematch, however Miesha Tate was immediately scheduled to fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 200. There has been talks of a Holm and Rousey and rematch, but UFC fans will have to wait until Ronda Rousey is officially cleared of concussion protocol in July.
