So many fighters are being given decisions after getting battered all fight. So unpredictable.However, Holm's former opponent Miesha Tate was of the opinion that 'The Preacher's Daughter' suffered a loss due to holes in her game plan. 'Cupcake' tweeted in the wake of the fight that Holm should have played to her counterstriking strength and forced Vieira to go offensive instead of spending energy in the clinch.Miesha Tate@MieshaTateNot a good game plan by @HollyHolm I can say it bc I’ve made the mistake before too. she shoulda stayed on the outside & forced Ketlen to be the aggressor. Holly’s an excellent counter striker, she tired herself out by engaging in the clinch too much.
