The following are highlights of a new MMAJunkie Radio interview with top UFC Women’s Bantamweight contender Miesha Tate:
On her upcoming fight with Rin Nakai: “Although Rin is relatively unknown to the general public, she’s (15-0-1), and (UFC President) Dana (White) knows that, (UFC co-owner) Lorenzo (Fertitta) knows that, and UFC matchmakers know that. They know that this girl’s legit and she’s tough. Sixteen wins with no losses is difficult for anybody fighting professionally; it’s quite an accomplishment.”
On her goals in UFC: “Beating [Nakai] is definitely a step in the right direction for me. But I don’t know exactly where that puts me. I hope it means I’m getting closer to a title shot [against Ronda Rousey] one more time, and if that’s good enough, I’ll take the title shot. If not, I’d like to face Cat Zingano again.”
