Miesha Tate: Ronda Rousey’s not a fighter

Miesha Tate will defend her Strikeforce title against Ronda Rousey on Saturday when the two meet at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH. The two have exchanged some heated trash talk in the time leading up to the event and that did trash talk did not cease when the champion recently spoke about her opponent, who it should be noted is coming in as a huge favorite over the champion. (-350 to Tate’s +250)

“She’s not a fighter.  You know, I haven’t seen Ronda fight anyone yet.  She’s 4-0 as a professional and she’s gone out there and played judo with these girls that don’t have any judo or wrestling background…so that’s a huge key element that’s going to be a game changer in this fight, I feel, because I do have a wrestling background.  I have a sense of the pushing and the pulling of the feet and how that can work.  So basically, she goes out there and she plays Judo with these girls.  I mean, she doesn’t throw punches, she doesn’t get punched and she doesn’t fight she just, you know,  looks for the submission almost immediately as if she’s just desperate she doesn’t want to be exposed.” – for more see MMASucka.com

What do you think LowKick’ers, will Rousey’s judo expertise prevail over Tate’s experience?
