Miesha Tate tonight appeared on UFC Tonight on FOX Sports and again addressed the UFC’s decision to take away her title fight and give it to Holly Holm:
They definitely want to get that undefeated versus undefeated record (for Rousey vs. Holm), Tate said. I’m not going to say that from a business perspective it doesn’t make sense, but the problem I have with it is the UFC promised me a title fight in the entire lead-up to my fight with Jessica. It was a ‘title-eliminator, No. 1 contender eliminator fight.’ Even after, it was reaffirmed that I was going to get that title shot. Then finding out not from the company itself, but finding out from an announcement and waking up to text messages saying, ‘I’m so sorry this isn’t happening’ – that was a little bit harder pill to swallow than if they had called me up and said, ‘Hey, this is what makes sense at the time.’
