Tate 'would love' fight against Cyborg: ‘What do I have to lose?'

[Wild]

Winning the UFC bantamweight title hasn't changed Miesha Tate's mind aboutCristiane "Cyborg" Justino.

At a fan Q&A in Brisbane on Friday, Tate responded to rumors about Zuffa exploring the possibility of having Justino fight in the UFC by echoing past statements that she would be more than willing to step up in weight and face the feared Brazilian.

"I've been hearing [the rumors] for such a long time, I just don't really know, I haven't had that confirmed. But I am open to that fight," Tate said. "Maybe doing it at a catchweight at 140. You know, I have nothing but respect for ‘Cyborg.' She freaking eats girls for breakfast. She's amazing. And it's like, what do I have to lose in that fight? I go out there and give it everything I have, and if I'm able to take out Goliath, then I am. Yeah, I would love to step in there with someone of her caliber."

She has that infectious happiness that I was talking about. How can you not like this chick?

Miesha's got a great attitude.

Consciousness that's what you could loose Miesha. Although I think Cyborg might be a good match for Miesha it'll be easy to make it a grinder.

Miesha's got a great attitude.

Great attitude, Great smile, Great rack, and Great Ass. That's the whole package. I still think she loses to Honda, but her style would give Cyborg real problems. She probably drags Cyborg to the deep waters and drowns her.

Cat zingano finished Miesha. Cyborg would stop her cro cop style!

Vs Gonzaga




The first one

I honestly don't care if ronda comes back, Tate and Holm can easily keep that division rolling smoothly.

Valid point... I guess. Cat did beat Miesha. I don't like MMA math though because Rousey finished Cat before I could even get my pants unzipped. Miesha made it to the 3rd round with Rousey.

Cats the only person to beat Miesha (not named Rousey) in several years. Miesha seems to have grown from that. I think she beats Cat now. I think she understands and accepts her striking isn't as good as Cat, Holm, and others so she doesn't stand outside and get in a kickboxing match. .

Miesha was winning the fight with Cat until she got caught. That was one of the greatest fights in MMA history imo.

Here's the whole Q&A

that fight was a war, since then Cat has added a bit more mass and Meisha has added more muscle too. Meishas cardio now can go 5 rounds and Cat never seems to gas out, so it makes for a super fun rematch.

from what I remember Meisha seemed to gas somewhere in the 3rd round although I would probably have to watch it again. All I know is Cat is fighting very soon.

Gotta love a champions attitude

 

[hit4me4]

Real champions want to fight the best....that's all I've got to say about that matter.

 

[KWingJitsu]

Meisha & Holly... real champion shit.....

First womens fight I watched it was fucking awesome.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

Props to Meisha and Holly, both of them take risks and are up for any challenge and thats what you wanna see. Ronda wanted nothing to do with Cyborg.

That being said, Cyborg beats the shit out of Meisha, Holly and Ronda.

 

[Papi Chingon]

Another reason why she is nothing like rhonda. Love it!

 

[RedDragonUK]

Miesha can beat anyone in the women's division if she keeps calm and listens to her corner and is patient. Cyborg is a beast and I'd rather Miesha didn't fight her because Borg is a PED monster but imo Tate can out wrestle her.
