                    <p>It's unfortunate for Kat, but the UFC is all about injuries. I was so stoked when I heard I got the spot, to coach. Not only coach against Ronda, and our rivalry I thinks makes for better TV. And I get to fight her agai.<br />



If you don't know, Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate don't like each other at all. They have been battling, verbally and physically, for years.



I've always respected Miesha Tate as a fighter, and I've always respected her as an athlete. How we feel personally has nothing to do with that. I've said in the same sentence 'I think she's totally legit, but I don't really feel bad about hitting her.' "



Ronda obviously is a phenomenal fighter. As a fighter, I don't think she is quite as stellar.



It's going to be really interesting for the fans that have been keeping up with me and Miesha's rivalry up to this point. And it'll be really exciting for people learning of it for the first time.



The're going to be living here for six weeks, coaching two opposite teams, and trying to win this comoetuton



Im actually honored to be coaching opposite to her on the show. I think this is what was fated to happen. And I'm really lucky to have a rival like her - if I didn't have her, I would suffer.



I want to look her is face, and say I beat Ronda Rousey

Hate to hear about Kat's injury, but I really want to see these two fight again.

Who cares about the fight? Let's just watch 'em get it on instead!! :-D
Now that would be a female PPV I'd actually buy.

Really they should have worked the Tate-Zingano fight.

This reeks.

Although I guess Cat Zingano can refund the money I donated to her on Fund A Fighter.

It was to pay for her training camp.

She won't need that now. Phone Post

sucks for Cat, but Tate will bring in the larger numbers I think... she is prettier... and like it or not... that will affect the numbers in some way... especially on a Reality TV show.

we all had to deal with dudes wearing way too much spandex in the early days, maybe this is GOD saying... you have paid your dues my SON, now you can see women wear spandex and fight.

:)

I don't think Tate gets out of the first round with Rousey, but this is going to be a GREAT season of TUF! I don't see how it can't get the highest rating ever, unless somehow this FOX SPORTS 1 CHANNEL is NOT AVAILABLE to a lot of people (like FUEL TV).

Honda, 1st rnd. armbar

i had forgotten just how close that fight was...

i was pulling for miesha over cat, because i thought it would make for better TV...

but looking back... i think we are going to get another really great grappling match, which you just don't see enough of these days in the guys division...

my above comment was intended as sort of a joke. but i stand by it. i won't bet against honda until she fails to win via 1st. rnd. armbar... she gets it done... what else can you say.

It's going to her surgery costs now. Injury means she can't work and make $. Phone Post 3.0
