Forget Ronda Rousey: Tate, Holm and ‘Cyborg’ Come Together …

As a UFC champion and A-list celebrity, Ronda Rousey has a huge target on her, and three of the women looking to take her out happen to be getting awfully friendly right now. Check out this photo posted to Instagram on Monday:

The picture features Miesha Tate, Holly Holm and Cris "Cyborg" Justino in front of the famous Rocky statue in Philadelphia and was taken to promote the upcoming filmFight Valley: Knockaround Girls. The revenge-focused action flick will feature all three women, who are taking wildly different paths en route to Rousey.

Tate and Rousey had a bitter feud in 2012 ahead of their fight for the Strikeforce women's bantamweight title. While Rousey would win the bout in devastating fashion, bending Tate's arm backward, she remained close enough to Rousey to end up facing her again in 2013 following a mixed-gender season ofThe UltimateFighter. While she came up short yet again, a four-fight winning streak seemingly lined her up for a third shot at Rousey, but the UFC threw a huge curveball last week with the announcement that Holm would get the next shot at the title.

Holm has an impressive boxing pedigree, sporting a 33-2-3 record and a slew of titles. In MMA, she owns a perfect 9-0 record but has posted less-than-electrifying performances in the UFC, which has some fans unimpressed by the UFC 195 main event.

And, of course, Cyborg is in attendance. The Invicta FC featherweight champ has been in a war of words with Rousey for years nowand has become the ideal opponent for Rousey. While the UFC, Cyborg and Rousey have never come to terms on making a fight happen, any given contest involving one of them is immediately followed with a swirl of discussion about the whens and hows of a potential superfight.

The aforementioned Fight Valley movie is set to drop on December 7 (you can check out its IMDb page here). Who do you think has the best chance of knocking off Rousey at this point, fight fans?
