Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold felt it before their middleweight title fight at UFC 194 in December. Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald experienced it back when they put on the Fight of the Year at UFC 189 in July. And now, just a little over six weeks before UFC 197, Miesha Tate and Holly Holm are about to get find out what it’s like, too.
They are going to fight on a pay-per-view in the shadow of global firebrand Conor McGregor, who will headline UFC 197 against Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight belt.
