Miesha Tate kommer härnäst att möta bantamviktsmästarinnan Holly Holm, som plockade bältet från Ronda Rousey under UFC 196. Enligt Miesha är hon en bra mycket tuffare utmanare än Ronda, och så här sade hon via ”FOX Sports”:
I’m not like Ronda at all in my fighting style. I present different challenges and I have a lot more ring experience and I’ve been battle tested. I’m definitely a battle-tested veteran. I know I can take a punch to give a punch and I don’t fear the clock.
I don’t care if it takes me 24 minutes and 59 seconds to win that fight, I will be in it to win it. I will be patient when I need to be patient, I will be explosive when I need to be explosive. I will be calculated and precise and I will do exactly what I need to do to win this fight.
They know this is a huge step up in competition. They know that stylistically, I think everyone believes that I’m a more challenging style for Holly. I present different problems.
Tate kommer att kliva in med fyra raka domslutssegrar i bagaget, och sist besegrade hon Jessica Eye då de möttes under ”UFC on FOX 16”.
