Rest easy, "Cupcake" fans.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight title contender Miesha Tate is not going anywhere -- win or lose -- after she fights Holly Holm at the upcoming UFC 196 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place on March 5, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Despite these comments, Tate told News 3 Las Vegas that killing herself is never an option:
"Religiously, it's never an option for me. I had a boyfriend who committed suicide early on in my life, I promised I would never do that to the people around me now matter how down and out I get. Taking my own life is not an option, but I understand those emotions of feeling like you've lost everything."
Tate lost her bantamweight title to Ronda Rousey back in 2012.
"Rowdy" was later crowned 135-pound champ by UFC and defended that title six times, before Holm took her to the woodshed at UFC 193. Recently, Rousey told Ellen DeGeneres she briefly considered killing herself after the loss to "The Preacher's Daughter," but quickly got back on the road to recovery.
