“I don’t know if she’ll ever come back the same, but I have proven I can come back from adversity and I do come back and I will come back and there’s no one in this sport that can break me”. “I think Ronda is beating herself up over this”.

She laughed on Tuesday, when she said Rousey considered her “a frenemy” – but added that Rousey was supportive and helped her deal with the aftermath of the abuse she had suffered from the coach she had worked with before Pedro.
UFC President Dana White says he thought all along that Holly Holm should have waited to fight again until Ronda Rousey was ready. “But it could have been so much bigger for her, and the sad part is, I don’t think she even knows it”. After Tate’s title win, the UFC suggested that Rousey will return to challenge her for the belt. I think she has so much faith in the people that surround her, she feels like, ‘Well, I feel like they got me here’. “It was a team decision, and Holly is the boss”.
When breaking down the technical aspects of a third fight with Rousey, Tate sees a lot of advantages this time around that she didn’t have before. “That’s my personal feeling, but who knows what the UFC has cooking?” said Fresquez.
Miesha Tate, 29, is walking on cloud nine, after taking the women’s bantamweight belt from Holly Holm, 34. She paid for it. Hats off to Miesha for capitalizing.
“What happens next is the UFC’s decision”.
“(Holly) edged me out in striking but it wasn’t a landslide. Holly wants to fight Miesha right away. Even with the title, a fight between Miesha and Rousey doesn’t have the glamour a fight with Holly and Ronda does.
She took Holm’s back once more, sunk her forearm under her opponent’s chin and choked the then-champion into unconsciousness. For the sake of Holly Holm’s career, let’s hope he’s got it right this time around. The problem, according to White, is Fresquez is a backwards-thinking boxing guy instead of a progressive, MMA genius like himself.

White has said Tate’s first title defense will be against Rousey, who twice has beaten Tate. I mean, she previously said that she’s so emotional to the point where she’s considering insane things. “Everything’s not going to happen in a week”.
