Tate: I can be the one to overcome Cyborg

[Wild]

Many female fighters have been asked about the prospect of fighting Cris Cyborg. Not only does Miesha Tate say she would do it, she's thought quite a bit about it.

The UFC women's bantamweight champion said Monday at a media lunch that she'd be willing to fight Cyborg, even at a catchweight of 140 pounds. The idea of facing the Invicta FC 145-pound champion -- and arguably the baddest woman on the planet -- is very interesting to her.

"I think it would be really cool to fight Cyborg, honestly," Tate said. "Like to really see what it's like to be in there with someone with her power. ... I'll be the first to admit, physically I think I would be at a disadvantage, but I think that I can be the one to prove that I have the heart, the durability, the determination and the will power -- and technique -- to overcome that kind of challenge. And that intrigues me. That would be very rewarding to me."

No.

Love to watch her try though.

I wouldn't rule her out but I think Zingano has the best chance. I'd like to see how Cyborg does if somebody can weather the storm and get into the second or third round.

As much as I dislike Gu...I mean Cyborg. She did well into the 3rd again Coenen who hit her with some pretty good shots.

Yea... ok!

How can you not love Meisha? This chick wants the big victories more than anyone else. Fuck playing it safe. Take the risks that could make you an all-time great.

Plus........ Dat ass!

Cupcake has the best chance of anyone to beat her. Maybe Cat 2nd best.

Tate is a warrior, but sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

I don't think she can but wouldn't she be Cyborg's toughest test to date? You never know.

But Cyborg isn't just a bully, she's tough. She got bashed by Jorina Baars and kept going forwards.

I think Holly Holm has the best chance. Hopefully we get at least one out of the three!

"Just coast, baby." Best corner advice ever. I hope she gets her wish and Cyborg (who I loathe and think has no place in MMA, women's or otherwise) gives her a reason to get a nose job. God knows she is so insecure that she needed to get bolt ons bigger than Frankenstein.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I love this picture!

Holly does present a unique set of challenges. Cyborg might find herself in trouble if she tries to bulldoze her like Ronda did. I still think she would get the best of Holly, and probably the other 2, but damn I wanna see it.

That's the only time I've ever been upset with Cat. She didn't have to do that to my cupcake!

..... And her bolt ons are magnificent!
