Now Miesha Tate ignored callouts from Cris Cyborg & Ronda Rousey she is fully focused on next opponent of UFC 2000 Amanda Nunes.

“It’s just not something I’m focused on at the moment,” Tate (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) told MMAjunkie during a media day in support of her next fight, a pay-per-view main card bout with Amanda Nunes(11-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) at UFC 200, which takes place at July 9 at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. “I’ll have to wait until after this fight to address that and talk to the UFC.”
“I just really, really don’t want to look ahead; I don’t want to look past Amanda,” she said. “I just feel that that’s just such a big mistake. You start focusing on future fights, and you let the one that really matters slip through your fingers.“I’ve been seeing a lot of belts change hands recently, and a lot of single-time defenses, and I don’t want to make that mistake. So I think I have got to stay grounded, as much as the media and the fans want to know what’s next. I can’t give you what’s next until what happens, happens.”
