Why Miesha Tate is voting for Donald Trump
Miesha Tate: “But honestly, we do have one thing in common – he’s not a Ronda Rousey fan. … He’s said it. He’s tweeted it out before.”
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate has previously offered positive comments on WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump’s run for the White House. In an interview with TMS Sports, Tate explained why.
“I wouldn’t say that I’ve supported him,” began Tate. “I would say that I maybe like the idea of a Republican, just for the simple fact that we’ve had two Democratic. You know. Simple as that.
“But honestly, we do have one thing in common – he’s not a Ronda Rousey fan. … He’s said it. He’s tweeted it out before. … That’s one thing he’s got going for him, if I can give credit where credit is due – He’s not a Ronda fan.”
Trump did in fact make a nyah nyah tweet after Rousey lost her title to Holly Holm at UFC 193 on Nov. 15 at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia
