Tate wants Holm next
Miesha Tate: “If I beat Holly then I’m 5-0 and I beat the girl who beat Ronda, what better case could they ever make to have me fight Ronda again?”
Having lost to Ronda Rousey twice, Miesha Tate was in a state of limbo as a top contender, but a tough sell for fans. Now that Holly Holm is champion, it might be the best thing for Tate and she recently made her case for a title shot:
“Here’s why I think the fight with Holly and I makes sense — for one, I haven’t ever fought Holly before. For two, I was Ronda’s biggest challenge until Holly so obviously I’ve proven that I’m a standout in the division and so is Holly,” Tate told FOX Sports. “If Holly would beat me, then they could still set up that great rematch that they want between her and Ronda. If I beat Holly then I’m 5-0 and I beat the girl who beat Ronda, what better case could they ever make to have me fight Ronda again? I think that fight sells itself.”
