Miesha Tate? I’m trying to take a non biased and objective look at her career. Is Miesha a good win though?

I think Val is just too small. Ronda would hip toss her on her neck. Val is fantastic against larger strikers then her but larger grapplers are a different story. A rehydrated Ronda was like 150-155 in cage while Val was literally 132 pounds fighting in the 136 division.In retrospect it was probably largely assisted by the damage Zingano sustained against Nunes, but I still that that win is Big Ron’s greatest accomplishment.
Big Ron actually has several good wins though. At the time, Tate, Zingano, Kaufman and McMann were top of the heap lady fighters.
Now I think several would knock her block off. Nunes obviously did, so did Holm, De Randamie would buttfuck her, Valentina would knuckle her up even fighting up too.
Pretty sure Rousey only beat Tate twice.Yeah, regardless of Tate's Hail Mary against Holm to finally win the UFC belt, Miesha Tate is a good win. Especially given Rousey beat her 3 times, right? I think we saw a mini evolution when Nunes got better and won the belt. A similar evolution to when Anderson Silva won the MW belt. so it's a tough comparison for Rousey,
I think you’re right now since Big Ron weighs ~200 pounds, but if they were to fight at 135 (obviously this is entirely in the realm of thought experiment at this point), I would favor Valentina. She’s been generally a very good counter wrestler, and if anything I think she’s more susceptible to shots than any clinch related takedowns. She can get a little sloppy in scrambles too, but I think that in a fight where she has no reason to initiate anything but striking, her technical striking matches up very well with someone who’s footwork is reminiscent of an NFL D tackle.I think Val is just too small. Ronda would hip toss her on her neck. Val is fantastic against larger strikers then her but larger grapplers are a different story.
I think Sara mcmann would hump Val all fight to a UD. Maybe even grind her to a sub.

Once in Strikeforce to take Meisha's belt and once in UFC after coaching TUF.
The phat check to face Nunes.Miesha Tate? I’m trying to take a non biased and objective look at her career. Is Miesha a good win though?
