This Saturday, on the 18th of August, San Diego
will be hosting the first of Ronda Rousey’s title defenses. The main card is
stacked but don’t let that make you look past the undercard. Shown on Showtime
Extreme, the prelims will be headlined by Jackson’s MMA standout and Invicta FC
color commentator, Julie Kedzie and the former Strikeforce bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate.
Although it seems that this fight should be featured on the
main card, it just goes to show you that Strikeforce wanted to give San Diego
another great event.

Julie Kedzie’s keys to victory: With a decorated background
in Tae Kwon Do and a third degree black belt in said martial art, she will
obviously want to keep it on the feet as much as she can. That being said, if
Miesha can get the takedown, Kedzie has the BJJ skills to get back up, sweep
Miesha, or submit her.

Miesha Tate’s keys to victory: Miesha Tate is a former high school
wrestling standout who can take anyone down and hold them there in her division. Her key
to victory is to go for the takedown as quickly as possible and try to finish the
fight with either ground and pound or a submission.
Although Tate may be the favorite coming into this fight,
make no mistake, Kedzie has all the tools to pull of the upset, and decisively
so.
We will be posting our predictions tomorrow so be looking
for this fight, even if it is on the prelims!
