Miesha Tate won two fights in two hours Friday night to come out on top of Strikeforce’s four-woman, one-night MMA tournament, taking a big step forward toward earning a shot at the 135-pound title.
Although one-night tournaments are risky propositions, this tournament has to be considered a major success for Strikeforce: The fights were solid, and the result was a likable, articulate, attractive woman getting a high-profile tournament championship.
“Sarah Kaufman, you’re amazing,” Tate said to the current 135-pound champ. “I can’t wait to fight you again.”
