Miesha Tate to Ronda Rousey after KO loss at UFC 193: 'You just got beat, b-tch'

Miesha Tate had no problem kicking Ronda Rousey when she was down following Holly Holm’s shocking knockout victory in the UFC 193 main event.

Tate (17-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC), a longtime rival of Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), did not put a filter on her thoughts about Holm’s (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) upset victory to capture the UFC women’s bantamweight title at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.

“I’m f-cking stoked; f-ck Ronda Rousey,” Tate told MMA News Source. “F-ck her and her ‘Nobody has the right to beat me.’ Nobody has the right to beat you? Well you just got beat, b-tch. … Anyways, I’m proud of Holly. She had a perfect, flawless game plan. She came in with it (Saturday) and now she is the champion.”

Despite two past losses to “Rowdy,” Tate was originally expected to be the one to challenge Rousey at UFC 193 due to a four-fight winning streak that most recently saw her top Jessica Eye by unanimous decision at UFC on FOX 16 in July.

Although she was publicly promised a championship fight, the UFC reneged and booked Holm against Rousey.

Tate has caused a media storm ever since she was passed over, publicly calling out the UFC for mishandling her situation and even threatening retirement if certain demands were not met.

It appears Holm’s victory has reinvigorated Tate’s desire to fight, though, because “Cupcake” believes she should be the first to challenge the new champion, even if UFC President Dana White has already said a rematch with Rousey is likely on deck.

“I look forward to that fight, because I think that I’m next in line,” Tate said.
