Miesha Tate has twice faced off against Ronda Rousey, and in both bouts she ended up submitting to an armbar from the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion. That hasn’t stopped Tate from voicing her opinions about Rousey though, so it’s no surprise to see her back at it when TMZ caught up to her Friday.
Tate was asked if she would watch Ronda host Saturday Night Live tonight and she of course said, “I don’t know what Ronda’s up to.” Miesha added that she would be focusing on her March 5 fight with Ronda-conquorer Holly Holm instead. When asked if she would ever become friends with Rondo, she was pretty transparent with her answer.
“Hell no. Definitely not and I have no desire to.”
Miesha, on the other hand, did note that she could see herself becoming friends with her UFC 197 opponent, Holm.
“I really like her a lot actually. She’s super fun to hang around and I could see us being friends outside The Octagon.”
Back in November, Miesha was seen basking in Ronda’s defeat to Holm, going viral with her instant reaction.
“Nobody has the right to beat you? Well you just got beat, bitch.”
Clearly there’s still no love lost, but maybe she should be a little grateful. It was Ronda’s decision to take some additional time off before a rematch with Holm that helped earn Tate the shot at the title in March.
