Miesha Tate had to wait for her Strikeforce women’s bantamweight title shot, but made the most of it, submitting Marloes Coenen to obtain the women’s 135-pound title at Strikeforce & M-1: Fedor vs. Henderson the Sears Centre outside of Chicago on Saturday.
Tate earned her shot at the title by winning the one-night Strikeforce Women’s Welterweight Tournament. The weight class was recently re-categorized as bantamweight. She was scheduled to face Coenen for the title in March but had to withdraw due to a knee injury suffered in training.
