What needs to be done is have Cris Cyborg VS Rousey for the number one contender spot followed by Tate Vs Holm for the title. Easy as that add a Connor McGregor vs Frankie Edgar to the card for the main event and you have a super card put it in Madison square garden.

I think the idea is great but the UFC won't.

The UFC is thinking about money matches and not compelling matches based on how the UFC handled Holm and tried to force her to wait for RR’s return. Even though it completely went against Holm’s interest in every way.

Since Holm went down against Tate, the UFC desperately wants that belt back on RR to get the money train back on track. That sets up several potential matches for the next year and a half maybe two years between them.

To put her up against Cyborg in her first bout back could totally derail the UFC-RR money train if Cyborg wins. They are not going to have that this early in the game. If things play out the UFC’s way Cyborg doesn't get anywhere near the title until mid-late-2017, maybe even 2018 if RR-Holm 2 goes RR’s way, setting up the rubber match.

All of that is IMHO the UFC’s wet dream for the division but fighters tend to throw all of their elaborate plans in the toilet.
