“Yeah, she is (No. 1 contender),” sa White. “You know, Miesha is such a durable human being. She will stand in front of you and take what you’ve got. Because she was getting picked apart in that first round. She keeps coming forward to land what she has to land or get you to the ground or do what she has to do to win. She did it again tonight. She has worked her way back to Ronda Rousey.”
Tate känner att hon har utvecklats sedan senaste mötet med Rousey på UFC 168 och har fokuserat mycket på sin cardio.
”feel like I made some really necessary changes this camp,” sa Tate. “One of the biggest ones is becoming a better athlete. I feel like I added to my strength and conditioning program in stage one. I felt so much stronger, so much more powerful. I felt like the power I was able to deliver behind my hands was absolutely necessary. Not only for Ronda, but for anybody I’m fighting. But especially Ronda. I’m looking forward to that. She doesn’t like to be hit and I need to be able to deliver that finishing power on the feet.”
