A few short hours ago, Holly Holm beat Ronda Rousey to become the UFC’s new women’s bantamweight champion. Her game plan was solid and her execution of it was absolutely immaculate. It is being called the biggest upset in UFC history.
While UFC 193 was unfolding in Melbourne, Australia at Etihad Stadium to a massive crowd of 56,000+, women’s bantamweight contender and Rousey nemesis, Miesha Tate was busy with hosting duties at Las Vegas gentlemen’s club, Sapphire. Immediately following the main event, one of the employees asked Miesha what she thought of the fight. Tate did not mince her words at all, as evidenced by this video, courtesy of MMA News Source. I have transcribed all but one sentence, which was inaudible due to the crowd cheers.
Male Host: Miesha, what are your thoughts on the fights tonight?
Miesha Tate: I’m fuckin’ stoked. Fuck Ronda Rousey. Fuck her and her “Nobody has the right to beat me.” Nobody has the right to beat you? Well you just got beat, bitch. [Some inaudible words that were overcome by the crowd cheering] Anyways, I’m proud of Holly. She had a perfect, flawless game plan. She came in with it tonight and now she is the champion. I look forward to that fight, because I think that I’m next in line.
Earlier yesterday, Submission Radio was able to get an interview with UFC president, Dana White, who suggested that maybe it was time for Miesha to retire, since she was allowing thoughts of retirement to enter her mind following the promotion’s decision to give the title shot to Holm rather than her. It would appear that Tate is no longer considering an early retirement.
