For most writers, the main takeaway from UFC 157 was Ronda Rousey‘s superlative grit and athleticism—the keyword being most. There was one individual, a writer for The Examiner by the name of Eric Holden, who was enamored by something different: The champion’s post-fight celebratory meal. Or, as he said it, the putting of “hot meat […]

Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche struck a major blow for women’s sports everywhere when they entered the Octagon at UFC 157. After previously holding strong to his stance that no women would fight in UFC, rather than being some sort of sexist bent on keeping women out of his men’s club, Dana White looked at […]

No matter how Ronda Rousey‘s UFC 157 title fight against Liz Carmouche turns out, at least one more women’s bout will take place in the UFC this year — and it’s a good one, too. UFC officials confirmed today that former Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champ Miesha Tate will make her Octagon debut at the Ultimate Fighter 17 finale (April 13th, Las Vegas), where she’ll face 7-0 prospect Cat “Alpha” Zingano.
A native of Broomfield, Colorado, Zingano’s most recent appearance was at Invicta FC 3 last October, where she submitted Raquel Pennington by second-round rear-naked choke. Prior to that fight, Zingano pulled off a body-slam KO against Takayo Hashi, TKO’d Carina Damm, and won Ring Of Fire titles at bantamweight and flyweight. In other words, this lady is serious business. And forget Cris Cyborg — Zingano is probably the most absurdly–jacked female fighter we’ve seen since Rin Nakai.
So will Zingano be successful in her UFC debut, or will she suffer the blankety wrath of Takedown Tate? Shoot us your prediction — as well as your general interest level in this fight — in the comments section.
