Tate: Nunes tends to break, I tend to break people
She will fighting top contender Amanda Nunes and believes the the key to her winning is her ability to break people and her opponents tendency to break.
Miesha Tate is only days away from defending the UFC bantamweight championship for the first time. She will fighting top contender Amanda Nunes and believes the the key to her winning is her ability to break people and her opponents tendency to break:
Miesha Tate’s run to the UFC bantamweight title has encapsulated everything Tate has grown to represent as a fighter. Over the course of five consecutive wins, Tate has overcome promotional slights, a nasty broken orbital against Sara McMann, and secured one of the most stunning comebacks in the history of the sport with her fifth-round submission over Holly Holm.
To put it simply, no one can question Tate’s heart — and Tate is confident that very thing is going to be her greatest strength over UFC 200 title challenger Amanda Nunes.
“I just think I have more tenacity,” Tate said at Wednesday’s UFC press conference. “I have more heart. I have more determination to be here and to stay here than she does. She has a tendency to break in fights, and I have a tendency to break people in fights.”
