Miesha Tate had to fight “tooth and nail” to defeat Sara McMann

Miesha Tate continued to show us why she is one of MMA’s true comeback warriors. After getting tagged by a couple of lethal right hands via Olympic silver medalist Sara McMann, Tate came back in a big way to earn herself her third consecutive victory inside of the Octagon.

While many thought Tate vs. McMann might’ve been a #1 contenders bout for the strap currently held by Ronda Rousey, it appears that we may get a true title eliminator if the UFC decides to grant Miesha’s wishes.

If u wanna see me fight @bethecorreia next & end her win streak help me get this ball rollin! Tell @danawhite @lorenzofertitta & @seanshelby
