Miesha Tate thinks she can be the one to overcome challenge of Cris Cyborg

Miesha Tate thinks she can be the one to overcome challenge of Cris Cyborg

The UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate had willing to face Cyborg, even at catchweigh of 140-pounds.

"I think it would be really cool to Face Cyborg, honestly," Tate said. "Like to really see what it's like to be in there with someone with her power. ... I'll be the first to admit, physically I think I would be at a disadvantage, but I think that I can be the one to prove that I have the heart, the durability, the determination and the will power -- and technique -- to overcome that kind of challenge. And that intrigues me. That would be very rewarding to me.

Tate’s going to face Amanda Nunes at UFC 200 at on July 9 in Las Vegas. Tate totally focused on Amadna but the Cris Cyborg bout has crossed her mind.

"It hasn't changed, but the thing is, is I don't know if I can not fight for the belt while I'm the champion," Tate said. "I don't know how that works. I'm not Conor McGregor. He has like his own set of rules. I'm not really sure. I wouldn't be opposed to it. But I think it would be better if we did make it a title fight. At some point if that comes down and it's allowed, like of course." 

"I think she can make 135 pounds, but yeah, she's a very big girl," Tate said. "She's naturally big and I'm sure that it would be really a difficult cut for her. She'd have to lose money. She wouldn't just be able to lose the water weight. She'd have to come down."
