The Fiery Women of MMA, In And Out Of The Cage

The Fighter Nicknamed “Cupcake”

With a nickname like “Cupcake” you may think there’s nothing to be intimidated by—but you would be wrong. Miesha Tate is known as a pioneer in the women’s MMA world. Though she’s semi-retired now, she was known for her grappling ability, her feuds with Ronda Rousey, and for taking down Holly Holm via technical submission.

Tate had her eye on a career after fighting and also modeled for numerous websites and publications. She was also featured as a character in the EA Sports UFC video game. Recently, Miesha Tate signed a contract with Fox Sports, and joined the UFC analytical desk for FS1.
