Coach: 3rd Rousey fight would be bad for Tate
Edmund Tarverdyan: “I’m going to make sure that Miesha Tate gets really punished and knows what she’s getting into. It’s not going to be good for her career.”
Dana White recently revealed that Miesha Tate has earned the number one contender spot, which could lead to a third fight with Ronda Rousey. If that were to happen, Rousey’s coach believes it would not be a good outcome for Tate and even could be detrimental to her health:
“This time, it’s going to be a totally different fight. Ronda’s improvement is just going to be too much for her. This girl is going to get hurt in there. She’s not going to know where she is. This time, she’s not gonna know where she is, for sure.”
Ultimately Tarverdyan admits that Tate has improved and has earned a third fight with Rousey. However, the striker promised that the fight wouldn’t be a healthy life decision for the top contender.
“[Tate has] been doing a bit better,” he allowed.
“But it’s cool. I like that fight. I’m real excited for that fight, actually. Because this time I’m going to make sure that Miesha Tate gets really punished and knows what she’s getting into. It’s not going to be good for her career. She’s gonna get a lot of damage and I’m gonna make sure it’s not healthy for her career.”
