Stale cupcake

[Dr. Rose]

Wbw is a can division, it's already had Pennington and Pena as champs so cupcake winning a title isn't unheard of

that was my first thought. She needs to get it before Kayla though

 

[Dr. Rose]

I think she needs to go into the kitchen and make me a sandwich so I have the energy to frost her cupcakes later in the day.

 

[WillyWarminski]

Who are we talking about here?

TBF, she hasn't done much since before you joined so I understand your question...

 

[Necrocrawler]

Not saying she will...
But she has a clear path for the title:

1 - Beat Santos
2 - beat Pennington securing her as contender
3 - trash talks pena into a TS (while both duck Kayla)

Those 3 steps are possible

4 - profit

She's def not winning the title. As low point as wmma is now. Miesha just grabbing another pay check.

She was champion, lost it right right after, currently? Its not like the division is better or anything, but the ones at the top are just younger and she can barely win a fight this days, she wont get near a title shot before actually retiring (or re-retiring).

PS: Lol, she is ranked #12, i guess it could happen.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Since she has always IMO had the face of one, nickname should be changed to "Lot Lizard" from "Cupcake".

bro the last 2 people to fight for a title she coached on tuf. this was the tuf against rousey.

This was like 2013

that's how little this division has moved

 

[TempleoftheDog]

She lost to Lauren Murphy 2.5 years ago. Which I correctly predicted.

She must need the money. She’s on a pretty big contract. When she came back in ‘21, her contract was a little over $100K/100K, iirc. But she spent $200K on her training camp. So she barely made a penny. And she was also lucky enough to be fighting Reneau, in her retirement fight. She was 42 years old.

Has to be money. It usually is in this business.

I’ll pick Yana by decision.

There's an easier way for her to make it

Exactly, they are not better, just younger, which for WBW seems to be enough to get by or even get to the belt once Nunes left, Pennington already beat her in 2016, wouldnt be surprised if Peña as bad as she is also beats Tate, she is probably bigger.

I think pena beats tate very easy probably finishes her in 2

With the imminent return of the Tate (no pics)

Ok well fuck you.

Fuck all that shit.

 

[HHJ]

She looked horrendous last time I saw her fight.

Her striking always sucked but age and slower reflexes ain't doing her any favors

And her wrestling was always telegraphed it just worked when soccer moms were top ten by default
(which still might be the case at w135, lord knows I have given a shit to follow closely)

If Tate works her game and is in control of the fight, its pretty boring.

Her best fights is when someone actually forces a fight out of her (Ronda I, Zingano)

but these fights were a long time ago. She's old.

 

[jeff7b9]

What is she planning on bringing to the table this late in her career?

I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

How the UFC hasn't penciled in a footnote stating that all fighter contracts are void on your 40th birthday is beyond me. The only person to benefit from this fight is Meisha Tate while everyone else takes pee breaks and smokes their joints.

Why would they make rules? If they dont want you, they can just cut you. They wanted Miesha back. Why make a rule you wont foillow when you dont feel like it?

Some fighters that age still have some purpose, even if it is just to put over younger talent.

 

[prime_lobov]

The yana fight is going to be terrible. She’s also old and hasn’t looked the same since she started taking Thiago Santos’ big “marreta”. Knowing the UFC they’ll probably try to create hype by having Miesha in a cringy video with Nina with suggestive lesbian overtones.
