Miesha Tate says Ronda Rousey has to "pay her dues" before getting a title shot
Posted on January 2, 2012, 01:18 PM by Joey SantosusStrikeforce Women's 135-pound Champion Miesha Tate, who was last seen in action submitting Marloes Coenen in July, discusses the ongoing challenges issued by Ronda Rousey, and explains why she feels "Rowdy" has not yet earned a title shot.
Tate insists that, like herself and many other contenders in the division have had to do, Rousey must first pay her dues, and says that once she has done so, she'll have no problem accepting the fight.

by paying her dues, I hope she means posing with as little clothes on as possible.
She Can beat Miesha now. But Is she Prepared to beat Cyborg now is the question..
its so hard to take women's mma seriously if they are not hot... call me a ignorant prick, but you know its true
You mean its hard to take women's mma seriously if they are hot. I personally take Cyborg seriously cause she's not a part time fighter-lingerie model like the others.
its definitely better if they've got unibrows and manmuscles, you don't mind seeing them get all bruised up then
Make it nude women's MMA and we would have sell out crowds every fight.
...but after cyborg retirement, PLEASE.
I don't think women will ever have success in mma. I mean, how can you be a man and like a girl as a FIGHTER. I'm not saying they're all dolls (unfortunately for us), but watching them you feel like they are "playing" mma. I believe they are better than we think and a lot a men would get they're ass kicked but let's face it: if you don't watch women mma because of girls like Miesha Tate, you don't watch women mma.
The divisions are all way too shallow to really generate any big money interest. Women's boxing has been around forever but ask someone to name 1 female boxing champ. Ask for a mens boxing champs and just anybody will be able to say Tyson, Ali, Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard etc etc. Women beating the tar out of each other will never be as accepted as mens combat sports
.
Muhammed Ali's daughter was a good boxer from what I believe.
Whats her name?
Those two are soo hot...would pay double to see they go at it in the mud... Crazy!!
Sorry Miesha, but bull shit.
Brock Lesnar, Randy Couture, BJ Penn, Cung Le, etc..
MMA's history is littered with people getting undeserved title shots. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but nobody really wants to see you and Sarah Kauffman fight each other right now.
If she's so undeserving, make her prove it in the cage.
I still love you, I'm sorry for yelling.
Bad news Miesha
SF/Zuffa call the shots not the champ
so if SF/Zuffa say
"RR get a shot"
then Ms. Cheesecake Tate is in for a bad night
Meisha needs to shut up...
She is in no position to say anything regarding who should get a chance to fight her or not.
In a politically correct manner, she sounds like she is dodging Rousey. Although I hope Rousey can cut the weight without depleting herself
If your the champ, STFU, train and be ready for whoever they put in front of you....
