Miesha Tate

[DaGenius]

She certainly spent the month leading up to that fight getting her media digs in on Ronda. Not surprising as they genuinely don't like each other but perhaps she should have spent a bit more time focusing on nunes.

Haven't really heard anything but there isn't much to say. She will fight again but return to the middle of the pack or top gate keeper

Her skill set making her one of the best in the world just shows us that the talent pool in WMMA is horrendous. And if WMMA does draw huge ratings (I haven't paid attention to the ratings for her fights), it just goes to show you that UFC fans are so easily convinced by Zuffa, Rogan and co that WMMA is "elite"

I am not convinced by Zuffa or Rogan or anyone. I can enjoy female mma and at the same time realize they are not near the same level as the men. And yes the sexuality plays a part. I also enjoy women's tennis as much as men's. MMA fan that mocks female fight fans are hurting their sport.

Well everybody has called her "so mentally tough" for years, yet as soon as she gets 7 figures she quits and emigrates to Canada? I think the only reason she continued to fight was because she had no other options, she doesn't strike me as somebody who'd be successful in a different career.

Retiring with your health somewhat intact and moving to Canada does not make one weak. I'd say it makes them very enlightened.

Nah, Rousey has retired now everybody calls her mentally weak. Let's not mention the fact that she defended her belt 6 times and didn't quit as soon as she sniffed 6 figures.

I always wondered wherw that emojji came from. Do you know what they asked him?

Nothing but the truth, half-assed takedowns with sloppy striking defence and offence.

You are nothing but a hater. You say Tate has no heart, but then talk Ronda up like she is a goddess. Mind you I was a big Ronda fan until SHE WENT ON TV, AND TALKED ABOUT KILLING HERSELF BECAUSE SHE LOST A FIGHT. All of your Ronda arguments are shit.

Ronda defended her belt multiple times and overcame things like a speech impediment and her fathers suicide at a young age, not to mention she had to get massacred and KO'd to be relinquished of her belt. Let's compare that to Tate who sniffed her first 7 figure payday and walked to the other side of the cage to give her back up as soon as she got punched, then said she was emigrating to Canada. She could have at least Nunes sink the choke in before tapping.

i never liked her. body looks super roided, fake teets, attention whore, not hot, tons of makeup. ronda destroyed her twice, holly had her beat...

Tate is over rated. Take a look at her record, it's not good at all. Holm is her biggest win, and she was losing that fight.

I am not everybody. I certainly do not think a person that overcame what Ronda did to achieve so much is mentally weak. The loss obviously damaged her significantly but she is recovering. I just don't think MMA is in her future, nor would it be mine either if I were her.

She was the world champion. She is at least in the top 6 or 7 batamweights in world. Let me know when you are the top 6 or 7 of anything. let alone fighting MMA.

I never said Ronda wasn't a good champion. But talking about killing yourself because you lost an athletic competition is as mentally weak as it gets. I have saw Tate fight through adversity multiple times in fights. She is as tough as they come. Go jump back on your bandwagon, while you are waiting on Ronda to sign her next fight....you may be waiting a while.

Acting like Michelle Obama? You mean the most intelligent and classy FLOTUS in history. Go suck Trump you racist bastard.

Martha Washington was classy as hell. Get outta here with that revisionist history shit.

Everybody knows Ronda on Ellen was an attention grab, Tate was forced to fight through adversity because she wasn't financially stable enough to retire. Notice how as soon as she gets a 7 figure pay day she walks to the other side of the cage and gave Nunes her back? Didn't even wait for her to get the choke, perhaps when Ronda signs her next fight we'll find Tate on the tables of some trashy strip club waiting to celebrate again.

Do you know about brain chemistry and suicidal thoughts? I would argue that Ronda showed strength in admitting how much that loss damaged her. And as I said Tate is just as mentally tough.

That screaming shit she did during her walk out and announcement was weird. She'd scream that immediately return to a look of panic or fear. It gave me the impression she was scared/already defeated and she was trying to get herself hyped. She'd seemed off. I picked Nunes to win but the more I think about it, Amanda is tailor made for Misha. She's vicious for 7 minutes but after that she's a dream match up for Meisha. She just had to survive. I do think the better fighter that night won but I think Meisha is very capable of beating her.

She was beat across cage and out on her feet and her nose was broke and her jaw could have been broken. She was not right coming into the fight imo but she has nothing to be ashamed at for how she took the beat down once it started.

 

[$uicideboy$]

tate should have never been champion

 

[The Schmoop]

I have read many people on this forum say it. They are idiots.

I've noticed as well. Tate let's her arm snap rather than tapping yet she's mentally weak. Makes sense.

Stop making excuses for her, she's been in the game for 10 years and refuses to evolve.

 

[Gaelic]

So many Ronda supporters feeling like they have to somehow, someway make Ronda seem better by bringing down Tate. Why is that? I'll never get it. Anyway Miesha looks to have underestimated Amanda, and she clearly had never been hit that hard. Nunes was quite simply better that night.
