LeBell: Miesha Tate is being underestimated
Gene Lebell: “I think Miesha Tate might give her a hell of a go herself. Miesha Tate — people underestimate her. She’s a damned good wrestler, fighter.”
‘Judo’ Gene Lebell is the long-time mentor of UFC champion Ronda Rousey, and speaking recently on her next fight, believes that Miesha Tate is being underestimated:
“I think Miesha Tate might give her a hell of a go herself. Miesha Tate — people underestimate her. She’s a damned good wrestler, fighter,” he said.
“Miesha is better than she’s getting credit for.”
Of course, LeBell doesn’t believe that being a great fighter is enough to beat Rousey. Even if Miesha brings her A-game, the OG doesn’t see a third fight with Rousey going very well for her.
“It could be a hell of a battle,” he said.
“If worst comes to worst, it could go into the second round.”
