Rousey is putting her title on the line against Tate and the two have been going at it quite a bit over the past few weeks and now they will get the chance to fight on Saturday night in the second most anticipated match along with Silva and Weidman and both are rematches with the losers of the first title both looking hungry for a win. Rousey will have been off for nearly a year when she takes the octagon against Tate and that could give her opponent and advantage, as Rousey took time off to star in a couple action movies and she also took place in the UFC Ultimate Fighter series and now she will be back in the ring.

Rousey has been greatly anticipating the match and she comes in undefeated in the UFC in her one match against Tate and 7-0 in MMA, while Tate comes in with a 13-4 record and she lost the title when they fought under Strikeforce and now the 26-year-old is looking to defend her title. The two have made it no secret that they don't like each other and now they will have another big match. Silva is looking to rebound after losing previously and he is being looked at as someone who has a good chance to win.
Silva comes in with a 33-5 record while Weidman has a 10-0 undefeated record and Silva has gone just 3-2 in his last five fights and the 29-year-old has almost 10 years on Silva. Weidman has a better reach than Silva and that should be an advantage and Silva will be aggressive and his camp says they like their chances.
