Miesha Tate Would Love Another Fight With Ronda Rousey
Miesha Tate is the only woman to fight Ronda Rousey twice, and she says she would love to face her one more time.
“I was in the middle of it and I don’t think I could appreciate it for what it really was,” Tate told Megan Olivi a few years ago. “Because I was really focused on the rivalry and the true dislike that we had for each other. But, now I look at it and I say I’m really grateful. I’m really grateful to have had somebody like Ronda as that foe. It needed two parts. We needed that to make people care just beyond a sport, right?”
“Maybe after she has kids she’ll want to come back and fight again. Who knows?" Tate added. "Like, that would be a dream come true. But honestly, I look at it so different. I’m so thankful to have that. Not just maybe what it did for the sport, but I can truthfully say what it did for me. It did amazing things and she was the perfect person to have standing across from me.”
The UFC fighter went on to recall the days leading up to facing Rousey, explaining, “Every day [feuding with Ronda] was very challenging."
"To have that type of rivalry because I had so much that I put on my plate already, so many other battles that I was trying to fight that adding one more especially one so big and in front of the rest of the world was ... just a little too much," she continued. "I look at myself and I don’t think I was able to put my best foot forward because I was so buried under the pressure and the emotions.”
