Miesha Tate says she can face Cyborg if she beats Ronda Rousey

M. Tate is eyeing a possible confrontation with Cristiane Cyborg

One of the main debates in women's MMA involves a potential superfight between the North American Ronda Rousey, UFC champion in the under-61 kilos category, and the Brazilian Chris Cyborg, owner of the Invicta FC under-66 kilos belt. But Rousey's next opponent put her own name on the cake. Miesha Tate said he would like to face Cyborg.

“I think a real fighter doesn't refuse to fight anyone,” Tate said in a question session with fans during UFC On FOX 8 last weekend. “I know it would be a big challenge, but fighting Ronda is already a big challenge. I think they are all super tough. The chance to get there and be the second person to beat Cyborg would be worth it. I would definitely take the fight, but I would prefer her to drop weight to fight.”

In the opinion of the current UFC challenger, the difference in physical strength is huge, as Miesha cuts little weight to fight. “I would definitely want it down because I don't walk around weighing much more than 61 pounds. She already has a huge strength advantage. So that would be fair, in my opinion.”

Miesha Tate will challenge the belt of Ronda Rousey in the co-main fight of UFC 168, on December 28th. The event will be headlined by a rematch between the middleweight champion Chris Weidman and the challenger Anderson Silva. During the second half of the year, Tate and Rousey will be on American TV facing each other in the eighteenth edition of reality show The Ultimate Fighter
