Miesha Tate welcomes fight with Irene Aldana after UFC 296 I'll see you soon

Linked with a return against a host of former foes at UFC 300 in April of next year, former undisputed bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate appears to be weighing-up a fight with former title challenger, Irene Alanda next, off the back of the Mexican’s win over Karol Rosa at UFC 296 over the weekend. 

Tate, a former bantamweight champion under the banner of the UFC and the now-defunct, Strikeforce, most recently turned in a third round rear-naked choke win over Julia Avila earlier this month, landing her first finish since winning the title against Holly Holm back in 2016.

Earning the number eleven rank at the bantamweight limit with her submission victory, Washington native, Tate has been linked with both rematches against Ronda Rousey, and the above-mentioned, Holm – appearing interested in the possibility of fighting the latter as soon as UFC 300 next year

“I think it’s a great time,” Miesha Tate told said. “I think that sounds reasonable. I think I got a little bit of an injury leaving that fight [with Julia Avila]. So, I’ve got to get an MRI and check myself out just make sure. But it’s not very severe… I’ve been walking around, and I think I’m actually all right. I think I’ll be OK. So if I can do that, then I think Holly (Holm) would be a fantastic one.” 

“She was kind of like edging me on the feet, I’ll give her that,” Miesha Tate explained. “I absolutely smashed her on the ground. So, anyway, to answer your question, I think it would be fun to run that one back.”

And tuning into UFC 296 over the weekend, Tate watched on as Mexican striker, Aldana landed a decision win over Brazilian contender, Rosa in her first fight since dropping a title charge to common-foe, Amanda Nunes back in June, in a Fight of the Night clash.

Miesha Tate eyes UFC 300 return rematch with Holly Holm that would be fun to run back

Former undisputed bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate has welcomed the possibility of a long-anticipated rematch with fellow former gold holder, Holly Holm, suggesting a potential return at UFC 300 next April, if she’s avoided a severe injury following her return to the Octagon last weekend.

Tate, a former undisputed bantamweight champion under the banner of the promotion, featured at UFC Austin last weekend, landing a dominant third round rear-naked choke win over Julia Avila, snapping her two-fight losing skid.

With the stoppage win, Washington fan-favorite, Tate turned in her first finish since landing a fifth round rear-naked choke submission win over Holm in the pair’s championship fight at UFC 196 back in 2016. 

Linked with a potential trilogy fight with fellow former bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey in the immediate aftermath of her UFC Austin win, it appears the Riverside native has a lack of “interest” in a third fight with the former champion.

And laying out her plans for a return at UFC 300 if she remains significant injury free, Tate weighed-up a potential re-run with Albuquerque veteran, Holm next April.

“I think it’s a great time,” Miesha Tate told MMA Fighting regarding a return at UFC 300. “I think that sounds reasonable. I think I got a little bit of an injury leaving that fight [with Julia Avila]. So, I’ve got to get an MRI and check myself out just make sure. But it’s not very severe… I’ve been walking around, and I think I’m actually all right. I think I’ll be OK. So if I can do that, then I think Holly (Holm) would be a fantastic one.”

Ronda Rousey not interested in fighting Miesha Tate at UFC 300 plans to have another child

Amid continued rumors linking former undisputed bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey with a return to mixed martial arts as part of a massive UFC 300 card in April of next year, the inaugural division champion currently has no interest in a fighting comeback, and is instead planning to give birth to another child.

Rousey, a former undisputed Strikeforce and UFC bantamweight champion, has been sidelined since she headlined UFC 207 back in 2016, suffering a blistering opening round TKO loss to former two-weight champion, Amanda Nunes.

Departing the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) earlier this year before switching her focus to regional professional wrestling show appearances and organizations, Ronda Rousey has been ruled from a comeback to the sport of MMA by UFC CEO, Dana White, despite ongoing speculation.

And rumors of a return for Riverside veteran, Rousey were rife and only rumbled on over the course of last weekend, with UFC Austin hosting the return of former bantamweight champion and two-time foe of Rousey, Miesha Tate.

Ronda Rousey uninterested in return to Octagon at UFC 300

Locking up her first victory via stoppage since landing a fifth round rallying rear-naked choke win over common-foe, Holly Holm back in 2016, Washington native, Tate latched onto a third round rear-naked choke win over Julia Avila – and was immediately met with encouragement to pursue a trilogy fight with Rousey at UFC 300 next year.

However, as per a report from veteran journalist, Dave Meltzer, sources close to Rousey have confirmed the former mixed martial arts star currently has no interest in making a fighting return to the UFC, and furthermore, is considering having another child with her long-time partner, UFC heavyweight stalwart, Travis Browne.

Twice deating fellow former UFC bantamweight champion, Tate during their two-fight rivalry, Rousey landed a pair of consecutive armbar wins over the former in 2012 and 2013, under the Strikeforce and UFC banner.

Off the back of her dominant UFC Austin victory last night, former undisputed bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate has been pegged to rekindle her rivalry with two-time foe, inaugural divisional titleholder, Ronda Rousey at a return at UFC 300 next year – with fans claiming a third bout between the two would be ideal for the April card.

Tate, the current number twelve ranked bantamweight contender, returned to the Octagon in the featured preliminary slot of UFC Austin overnight in Texas, turning in a spectacular third round rear-naked choke win over Julia Avila to snap her two-fight losing skid.

With the stoppage win, Tate recorded her first victory via finish since winning the undisputed bantamweight crown from common-foe, Holly Holm in the co-main event of UFC 196 back in 2016, rallying to snatch the championship with a fifth round rear-naked choke.

And in the immediate aftermath, the Washington veteran was linked with a rematch against the Albuquerque native at UFC 300 in April of next year, however, fans and pundits have suggested a trilogy fight between Tate and Rousey would be ideal for the monumental card.

“Surely the stars are aligning for Tate vs. Rousey at UFC 300,” Ryan Edwards posted on X.

“Miesha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey at UFC 300,” The Octagon Observer posted. “Book it.”

“This version of Miesha Tate would destroy Ronda Rousey,” Rick Dooby posted. “Book the rematch for #UFC300.” 

“Miesha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey at UFC 300,” Super Fan posted.

“People are talking about Miesha Tate vs. Holly Holm II Next,” EK posted. “Nah, I’m good. Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate for a third time at UFC 300 is the one. Who cares if she’s 2-0 over her. That rivalry was one of the most memorable ones in the sport. Winnable fight for both. #UFC Austin.”

Twice fighting during their professional career, Riverside native, Rousey landed a technical submission win over Tate to win the Strikeforce bantamweight title back in 2012, before turning in a third round armbar win over the former in the pair’s bantamweight championship re-run at UFC 168 the following year.
