Prior to Saturday’s UFC 157 pay-per-view, I worried that if Ronda Rousey pulled off a huge victory over Liz Carmouche in the first ever UFC women’s match, the countdown to the women’s division becoming a novelty could suddenly speed up like a bomb clock in a bad spy movie. Instead, it seems that most people – at least those not shouting, “BOOBY!” during one key moment – were rather pleased with Rousey’s first round submission victory and Carmouche’s potential.
At the very least, it prompted the UFC to sign four more female fighters, but we don’t care about them right now, because they’re not the women running their mouths. That distinction belongs to Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano, who will face each other on April 13 at the Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale in Las Vegas. Maybe they’re just upset about Rousey getting all the attention, but these ladies just weren’t impressed.
My first question is in regard to their outfits. Do all of the UFC’s women fighters plan on dressing like Koko B. Ware’s valets or was this just a one-time thing?
As for the meat and potatoes of this interview, Tate thinks that Rousey was a little sloppy in Saturday night’s fight, which may be true, but Rousey already beat Tate once, so you’d think she’d be a tad humble. Not the case, folks.
“I got her back in the first fight, and I guarantee that if I get it in the second one… I’m gonna rip her face off.”
As Cage Potato pointed out, the additional hilarity of that remark is that Tate actually has to beat Zingano before she can talk about facing Rousey, and Zingano was standing just a few feet away. Call the addition of women boring if you must, but at least these girls know how to talk sh*t.

They no hespec Howdy Honda Housey, but Miesha, Cat, they need to show hespec to Honda, she very tough fighter.
Fa realz, though, Cat needs to divorce Mr. Zingano and go back to being Cat Albert (Hey, hey, hey!), but I don’t know if either would do well against Rousey. Carmouche has mad strengths which helped her out, and to be honest, Miesha would probably be best at Flyweight. I’d love to see Alexis Davis or Shayna Baszler against Rousey. Baszler mostly because Josh Barnett could be Bobby Heenan leading up to the fight. Or Sara McMann, in a battle of Olympic medalists.
Josh Barnett fuckin’ with Ronda Rousey’s head leading up to a fight in a cage is the whole reason Mitsuyo Maeda taught Carlos Gracie judo.
“YA TRAIN CATCH WRESTLING WITH ME, YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE TOP. YOU TRAIN JUDO WITH GENE LEBELL, YOU’RE NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN!”
in all seriousness, Lobster, is there any way to get out of that once the left calf muscle is on your forehead and she’s got two hands on your one wrist? legs are stronger than arms so I’m going with “no.”
If she doesn’t have full extension, you can step over to spin out. There’s probably other defenses, but she’s just so good.
I want to see Rousey standing in a ring and naming off every hold she knows and like Chris Jericho every third hold is “ARMBAR”
ArmBAR.
you think this is good trash talk? I was hoping for some jokes about another woman’s weight or wrinkles. all these ladies should stick to what they’re good at: looking somewhat attractive and getting first round armbarred. except Cyborg. she should stay far, far away. anyone heard from Gina Carrano? she won’t return my creepy emails
I’d also accept, “I’mmma gonna hit you so hard, you’re never going to get your period again, bitch!”
Oh ma Gahd! Did you see her breast almost pop outta that tiny bra? What a slut.
In 10 years time, well look back at that interview and laugh. We’ll count our blessings that we have numerous female MMA fighters that could MDK those two ladies in seconds.
Until then, LONG LIVE THE ARMMMMMMBARRRRR,BAYYYYYBAYYYY!
Ultimate Surrender joke here.
If reality TV has taught us anything its that women talking catty shit to each other gets you bigger ratings and more news coverage.
