UFC on Fox 11 will feature an intriguing women’s bantamweight tilt in the co-main event. No. 3-ranked Miesha Tate will try to pick up her first win since the summer of 2012 against No. 7-ranked Liz Carmouche.
This bout is not only interesting due to the rank of the fighters, but because both were handled easily by champion Ronda Rousey in 2013. Their road back to title contention starts on Saturday in Orlando, Fla.
Tate is ranked No. 3 in the division, but her road to another title fight will be a long one. She has lost two in a row and has been dominated by Rousey in each of their two bouts. There is little interest in seeing a third fight between the two. However, if she gets back to her winning ways, it will be hard to deny her another chance.
Carmouche was looking for key victory in her last outing, but Alexis Davis controlled the fight with her leg kicks. It was a setback for the former Marine.
These are, without question, two of the top bantamweights in the world. This will be a clash of styles, and whomever comes out on top will be back in the thick of things in the division.
