Miesha Tate berättar om sin kommande match mot Amanda Nunes
Tate erövrade bantamvikts bältet för damer tidigare i år när hon besegrade Holly Holm och vann via submission på UFC 196. Nu på lördag under UFC 200 ska Tate försvara bältet för första gången mot Nunes. Nunes själv kommer från en vinstsvit på tre matcher, där hon vann sin senaste match mot Valentina Shevchenko på enhälligt domslut. I en intervju med UFC media berättar Tate om sin kommande match.
Detta säger Tate om sin motståndare:
She’s never faced anyone like me
I also think her mentality, her mental, that’s a big weakness, honestly
I don’t think that Amanda really likes to get hit
I think she thinks she likes to get it, but I don’t think she does. I think she likes to be delivering. And if she’s winning, it’s great. But when she’s not, when she’s put in that spot of adversity, she tends to break. I don’t even know if it’s so much a question of cardio as it is like, how bad does she really want it? So I think there will come a point in the fight where that becomes a question in her mind and it won’t be a question in my mind. Wherever we are — whether we’re on the feet or on the ground — I’m just gonna take it to her
I know that’s a tendency in the past of hers
It seems that she definitely hits a wall in fights, but I think it would be a really piss poor game plan to just count on someone getting tired. Honestly. So I have to assume that she’s making changes, she’s making those proper adjustments, she’s adding things that she needs to her camp to get her conditioning and cardio where it needs to be.
I wouldn’t put it past me to stand and bang with Amanda, too
I’ve been getting much more confident on my feet and I don’t feel like I need to take this fight to the ground. I think what my goal is in this fight is to break her. That’s it. No matter how
Det återstår att se nu på lördag vem som går ifrån med guldet på UFC 200.
