Photos: Miesha Tate trains hard in preparation for Ronda Rousey
Posted on February 17, 2012, 03:23 PM by Anton GurevichOn March 3rd, Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey will collide at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, in what would be the biggest bout in the history of Women's Mixed Martial Arts.
Tate currently spends her preparations at the Art of 8 training center in San Diego, California, under the patronage of Melchor Menor. Known for her exceptional grappling skills, "Takedown" Miesha Tate is also working on her striking with Menor, looking to improve her already-intimidating arsenal of MMA skills.
As always, LowKick.com photography extraordinaire Scott Hirano was in the right place at the right time, to bring the following photos of Miesha Tate's sparring session.

Hopefully, she has somebody that is extremely good in Judo training with her. If not she could be another early round victim.
mannn I just watched on Spike MMA uncensored and acted like Gina
and other good looking fighters saying that looks is got them there and
not skill and Gina's picture came up alot when Im sorry the chick is
beautiful but will phuck you up and has good skills same with Rousey
and train with great fighters just sucks to hear that
This is going to be a great fight.....I don;t see any knockouts, most likely a submission win round 2
Agreed. Tate vs Coenen was a great fight and was actually fairly similar to this match up. Will we see the submission specialist get subbed again?
Tate shocked me by submitting Coenen but i don't see that happening in this fight. I think Tate will win but she needs to stay away from the clinch as much as possible because Rousey should have a significant strength advantage and with her Judo background she seems to take fighters down with ease. This could easily turn out to be one of the best women's mma fight ever if it doesn't end in the first minute.
