Miesha Tate
Miesha “Cupcake” Tate was a pioneer of women’s MMA long before the UFC let women in. A former high-school wrestler from Tacoma, she won the Strikeforce bantamweight title from Marloes Coenen in 2011, lost it to Ronda Rousey by armbar in 2012, and fought her again at UFC 168 in one of the most heated rivalries of the era, coaching against her on The Ultimate Fighter 18.
In 2016 she submitted Holly Holm with a late rear-naked choke at UFC 196 to become UFC bantamweight champion, lost the belt to Amanda Nunes and retired, then came back in 2021. CagePotato covered the whole Rousey feud and every twist in her career.
