Top 3 Miesha Tate fights

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

I'm a Tate fan, but nearly all of her fights in the UFC have her showing some weakness. Her best work is definitely while she was in Strikeforce.

3. vs. Rousey II. Tate tapping out even before Rousey locked in the armbar was just the epitome of a dominated and defeated fighter. Tate just wanted the beating to end and gave up.

2. vs. Zingano. Tate thought she could count on her usual "win rounds" and "cruise to a decision" strategy...but late in that fight, Cat beat the living hell out of her. On the ground, standing up: there was just nowhere for Miesha to run or hide. Tate ate those brutal knees and finally took an elbow to the face and collapsed in a bloody heap - totally dominated and destroyed.

1. vs. Young. This Cro-cop style face-kick KO is still highlight film worthy. It was early in Tate's career and definitely the peak of Young`s accomplishments in the cage/ring...but the way Tate folds like a marionette with its strings cut the second her face gets punted - it's still one of the best finishes in WMMA.

Just look at the pressure put on her elbow.

I find a lot of her fights to be entertaining but some others are quite frustrating (her fight IQ). WBW division gets shit on a lot due to the lack of many "elite" fighters and/or athletes but Tate has always been scrappy and has good wrestling and BJJ. Her striking could use a lot of work (just like most of the division) but she's at least been doing better with it.

Yeah, her striking is starting to progress well offensively at least.

Miesha is the classic tough fighter. Not the most naturally talented, but she gets it done.

Fuck, the Kedzie fight is under appreciated... That's the fight that convinced me the UFC needed the ladies. So that's clearly my #1 Miesha fight.

2. vs McMann
3. vs Coenen

Watching the gif,mthe Cat knee was borderline on legality. Also, quick stoppage.
