They say lightning never strikes twice, but it looks like new UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate is determined to put that theory to the test.
Tate revealed during her recent appearance on Submission Radio that much like her recent opponent and former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm, she wants to take another fight instead of waiting for a guaranteed big money showdown with Ronda Rousey.
As seen at UFC 196, Holm rolled the dice and it cost her — big time — however Tate seems determined to take a similar approach. She told Submission Radio the following this week:
“I think it’s a long time to wait [for Ronda Rousey]. Ideally, I think I’d like to fight one more time before [her return]. I know that there’s a lot of really top contenders, a lot of girls in the division, that are really chomping at the bit. I think I’ve been called out by probably everybody in the top six, if not potentially the top 10. So they’re all gunning for me, and they’re all dangerous, and they all have their different attributes to bring to the table, so I think my job as the champ is just to stay ready for whoever. I’m just going to stay in the gym, and I have to be able to beat every single one of them.”
