UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate
In her octagon return this past July, Miesha Tate looked like she'd never left. While appearing in prime physical form at 35 years old, with significantly improved striking, 'Cupcake' thoroughly impressed in her explosive third-round TKO win over Marion Reneau.
In her second stint with the UFC, Miesha Tate hopes to avenge her losses to Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes.
During a recent interview with ESPN's Marc Raimondi, 'Cupcake' revealed it would be a 'dream come true' to complete a Ronda Rousey trilogy. She insisted she was unable to give her best performance when she last fought 'Rowdy' due to personal instability. Tate now claims she has what it takes to beat the former icon.
Miesha Tate also believes she would be the 'sniper' to take Amanda Nunes out. However, she's in no hurry to fight yet for the title and plans to earn her way back through the ranks.
Meanwhile, Ketlen Vieira came hairline close to getting a title shot not long ago. With a 4-0 streak since her UFC debut, Vieira would've likely fought champion Amanda Nunes if not for an unfortunate knee injury. After a devastating KO defeat to Irene Aldana upon return, Vieira managed a decision win vs. Sijara Eubanks before falling to Yana Kunitskaya.
