Tate VS. Rousey: Strikeforce Female MMA Bantamweight Championship Fight

Miesha Tate VS Ronda Rousey – Fight Results & Play-by-Play

It’s been a long time since there has been a female MMA fight that has been hyped as much as Tate vs. Rousey so expectations are high.  Will Tate retain her title against a lessor experienced Rousey?  Or will Rousey prove she belongs at the top of Female MMA by winning the most important fight of her career?

For months we have heard the trash talk back and forth, but tonight the trash talk means absolutely nothing.  All that matters is who’s arm is raised at the end of the fight.

How they Stack Up

Miesha Tate: 12-2 Professional MMA Record
135 lbs, 5′ 6″ tall, Age 24, Fighting out of Olympia, Washington

Ronda Rousey: 4-0 Professional MMA Record
135 lbs, 5′ 7″ tall, Age 24, Fighting out of Venice, California

Play By Play

Round 1: 

- Tate comes out swinging and Rousey takes her down to stop the onslaught.
