Miesha Tate (17-5) var snabb med att visa sin skadeglädje efter Ronda Rouseys (12-1) förlust på UFC 193 mot Holly Holm (10-0), men säger nu att hon kunde ha formulerat sig bättre.
Tate förklarar att hon var uppe i varv när hon reagerade på Rouseys förlust och kanske inte formulerade sig så bra som hon borde ha gjort, men säger även att Rousey inte heller har sagt snälla kommentarer om Tate förut.

“I was pumped and super excited and thought, ‘This is definitely a game changer for me.’ Most people know Ronda and I have a very extensive history, and I think my words definitely got the best of me in the heat of the moment,” sa Tate. “You’re charged up and there’s so many things that were said and I felt like that should have been my – I wanted to be in there for that fight and it was promised me, so there was part of me that was amped up and chomping at the bit and wanting to be that person in there. Then you say some things.
“I definitely think my words got the best of me, but at the same time, it’s not like there’s been kind words exchanged on her end. It’s usually pretty blunt on her end and definitely been a lot of comments that have been made. … There are some deep-seated roots of resentment with the way I’ve been treated in the situation. It came out and I wish I would have maybe thought a little bit better before I said something like that.”
Tate förklarar även att en orsak till varför hon var så känslosam efter matchen var för att hon kände att den här titelmatchen egentligen skulle vara hennes match, då hon först blev lovad den, men fick sedan reda på att titelmatchen hade gått till Holm istället.
“Not that I’m apologizing for it, but I think I could have had a bit better of an approach,” sa Tate. “I admit I was in an emotional state. I was pumped up, excited and a little bit envious that I feel like that could have been my fight. A lot of emotions were going on, so it’s not necessarily an apology, but admitting I didn’t handle it probably as well as I could have.”.
Tate tycker inte synd om Rousey och hoppas att hennes förlust kommer att göra Rousey mer ödmjuk.
“I don’t feel sorry for her – I think she kind of got what was coming to her,” sa Tate. “This was something that was long overdue. I feel like maybe now she’s going to be more humble in her approach. I would respect her even more as an athlete and as a competitor. I would respect her more if she was a little bit more humble in her approach to all of this. She doesn’t feel sorry me in for my position so no, it is what it is. It’s the fight game and she signed on the dotted line. They both showed up, and Holly was the better fighter.”
