Combat Profile

Miesha Tate is a former UFC champion whose game is built around world-class wrestling and an iron will that has defined her career. "Cupcake" excels in the clinch, where she uses her physical strength to ragdoll opponents to the canvas and grind them down with heavy ground-and-pound. Her submission threat is ever-present, particularly with her signature armbar from the guard or back control.

Tactical Advantage

Tate exploits opponents who fade in the later rounds or lack the scrambling ability to get back to their feet once taken down. She prefers a mauling style that breaks the spirit of strikers who cannot keep the fight upright, using her cardio to push a pace that few can match. Strikers with superior takedown defense and power can give her trouble, as they force her to eat significant shots while searching for entries.
