Strikeforce’s 135-pound women’s champion, Miesha Tate, believes she’s more than just another (pretty) face in MMA.
In a recent video with FightingFamous TV, Tate shares her feelings on a number of issues such as how her life has changed since winning the title and her place among the top women fighters in the division.
Given Tate’s amateur wrestling background and her record, it’s hard to argue that she’s just another “flash in the pan” as she says.
Tate’s defeated all of her opponents but two, one being her second professional bout that occurred in the same night following a three-round decision and the other being a tough decision loss to Sarah Kaufman.
Since the Kaufman loss, Tate has notable wins over top opponents such as Zoila Gurgel and former 135-pound champion, Marloes Coenen.
Coenen has since come out and joined the anti-Tate parade along with Ronda Rousey in a debate that centers on looks and how it factors into rankings and title pictures.
Among the random tidbits in the video is also a little bit about her and fellow MMA fighter Bryan Caraway moving back home to save some money.
If Tate wants to prepare herself the best she can before Strikeforce sets her up with a line of challengers, getting back to SoCal and Alpha Male has to be a top priority.
With all the Tate news going around about who looks better and who’s too nice, it’s good to see a video that examines not only Tate’s career, but the future of women’s MMA as well.
