Miesha Tate speaks in depth about Ronda Rousey: “She is very controversial the way she markets herself. She gets people interested by saying things that pisses people off or makes people laugh. That is kind of her marketing standpoint and she is really disrespectful in a lot of ways which I am not a fan of. Personally I value this sport as a sport. I do understand it is entertainment, but you know, I have so much love and respect for it, and the athletes who do it, that I would never want to straight out disrespect someone or go out there and talk trash. Because I have the most respect for everyone who steps in the cage regardless. It takes a certain kind of person to do that and for her to say something like Georges St Pierre is not good for the sport just goes to show how new and ignorant she is to this whole thing. She kind of comes on with this miss know it all attitude. She thinks she knows everything about marketing and she is just very self entitled and she really talked herself into this title fight. It was more her mouth than anything else: more than her wins or skill set or whatnot, that really got her this spot. And I don’t agree with that. I don’t think she belongs here and I am going to do everything in my power to send her to the back of the line.”

Tate the Strikeforce bantamweight title holder also said about the March 3rd bout, ” I don’t think that Strikeforce expects me to win actually.”
