5 MMA rivalries that felt like pro-wrestling feuds

#2 Ronda Rousey v/s Miesha Tate

Damsels at war, Ronda definitely has the upper hand

The intense rivalry between these two powerhouses is something that would have created all the ripples even in professional wrestling. The Rousey-Tate standoff goes way back in history, from when they both started out with Strikeforce.

These two women have gone from headbutting each other during weigh-ins, to shirking handshakes and embroiling in verbal spats including the derogatory “c” word being used against Tate. Not even the angle with Tate’s boyfriend, UFC fighter Bryan Caraway, was spared!

Phew… reminds you of the Attitude Era doesn’t it? Rousey has always had the upper hand facing off against Tate and she’s extremely verbose about that proud achievement. They have faced each other once at UFC 168 and once during Strikeforce, with Rousey picking up the victory on both occasions. ‘War was definitely raw’ between these two damsels.
