Tate vs Nunes would be as competitive as Ngannou vs John Morgan.
I didn’t know John Morgan was a professional mma fighter.
Fr John Morgan and Nunes would dominate
O Howard? check what?
I'm looking forward to easter much more than seeing Tate get squished
Nah bro Miesha's right hand is going to end her night
“I have the style to beat Francis Ngannou” ~ Meisha Tate
🤣🤣🤣
LMFAOOOOO
She gonna finish him in one round.
Not even betting agents will allow bets for that fight 🤣
White meat is his weakness
Crazy how she's had such a long incredible career and she's still only 34. Will be interesting to see how she looks.
Dramatic much
She still looks pretty dang good to me!! Well see how she fights too
@@prepperandson1399 be a douche much?
She needs money 💰
@@prepperandson1399 be a douche much?
Misha vs Holly 2 would be a proper one
Aye that'd be a lot more worthwhile than Tate vs Nunes 2.
People were always hating on her so hard, and I never really understood why. She's intelligent, a good fighter, attractive, and generally pretty down to earth.
She was a giant C word when she was with Bryan caraway, it's pretty well known
@@fredmart7130 Didn't know that. Sounds like it was the other way around according to this interview.
Intelligent?? No.
Her first job was at McDonald's I believe, she can make money on her social media with sponsors, she's not doing this for money as some of the comments say she's only doing this for money but I don't think it's true, she has a passion for this.
Agreed. I've always liked her. And her title win was like a ending to a great movie.
“This is not a therapy session.”
-Ariel Helwani
Lmfao
I was thinking the same thing.
Dam, savage comment lol
Lol
I agree!! Not only is he a little snake in the grass but he’s freaking cheesy as well.
She will be extremely lucky to get out of the 1st round with Amanda
It depends how she looks, I dont want her to fight amanda, she should have a warm up fight first. I think she can pose some problems with the wrestling, if she is able to close the distance. The only weakness I've seem from amanda is her cardio. If someone cam push the pace on her she starts to gas out. But even then she might still win lol but at least we can get a competitive fight for however long it lasts 🤷♂️
Wouldn't doubt da Cupcake....
If she gets Amanda fight then it's already mission accomplished for her. It'll be a great comeback
She'll never be in a first round with her.
It looks like anybody would be lucky to get out of the 1st round with Nunez lol
She could be suffering from CTE thinking that she has the style to beat Amanda. She almost got decapitated last time and posed zero threat to The Lioness.
I’m pretty sure Dana gave her a call for a potential comeback because there is no one else besides Peña to challenge the greatest female & only active double champion.
The furthest she gets is a rematch with Holly Holm, a fight which should have happened years ago but Holly gets her revenge every time now.
Why is this sooooo true.. I love Miesha but NO ONE HAS ANYTHING FOR the Black Brazilian Amanda Lioness Nunes!
Maybe, just like all the other highly underpaid UFC fighters, she may be doing this for economic reasons, and she's a fighter! This is how their mind works.
@@oliverb.3051 Miesha Tate is probably one of the most gorgeous beautiful stunning looking creatures that God ever made on the s*** hole planet on a scale from 1 to 10 she is eight thousand
"I gave him two houses, and keep giving and it's never enough." Yeah, welcome to what men have been used to for a long time.
What?
Time Stamp please.
Lmap
@@youtubebklhai6726 8:25
Another Beta male in the comments.
Ariel KO-ing Tate 2:08
3:00 The sport hasn’t just passed her by, it’s lapped her 7 times.
Literally 😭
Bro there’s mad women at 135 Miesha can beat
@@defiantking7777 Ok, but she ain't beating Nunes and acting like she even has a chance this late in her career is ridiculous
She’s going to submit Amanda.
@@ChewbaccaOnDrugs1130 You act like Nunes is a spring chicken
Hope she does well.
I think Ariel missed an opportunity to ask a follow up, about whether or not she has sought any treatment for depression (or if she feels the previous relationship was 100% responsible for it).
Also curious to know her reaction to Dana saying he talked to Ronda the same day as Miesha’s announcement- but then claiming that they didn’t even discuss Miesha. Respect Ariel for not making it about Ronda though.
Can’t say I feel bad for Brian Caraway. That story of him purposefully elbowing Zingano in the forehead before her fight with Tate permanently secured his scumbag status.
WHAT? when did this happen i never even heard of it
@@Fallout7295 It happened the week of their fight. Zingano broke the story, said Brian walked past her backstage (most likely during a press event) and elbowed her in the forehead extremely hard.
Cat zingano an mma queen too. Caraway a weird dude.
Tate was equally a scumbag too
@@jamesstack965 I agree. There's always been something about her I hated. She's fake.
When she talks about making all her money so her man can spend it, immediately thought of Rose and Pat
how? why?
Ya but both of them coach or coached their wives. Don't they deserve to get paid?
That’s funny lol
No. Pat is her biggest supporter. Caraway was toxic apparently.
Man i love Miesha, i hope she does great in her comeback
Shes fighting a fighter who is 44 years old and hasn't won a fight in 5 years and on a 4 fight losing streak lol I think it's clear she will win
She has nothing to offer Amanda.
just some scrambles but even then Amanda is way stronger
She’s in a good place and loves to fight. All respect.
Best looking fighter of all time. Glad she's back. Great fighter as well.
Miesha is such a beautiful, strong spirited, sexy and well spoken women!
was good looking
She will go back into retirement after Amanda knocks her out.
She not even going to get to fight Amanda she going to be destroyed in her first fight
Meisha "My husband was never my friend" Tate
They were never married.
Just to correct you, there was never no marriage.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Ha ha From the mouth one of the intellectual giants of the modern era lol .
Tell us another lion story Tito with the mane and everything ..............
Husbands and wives aren't and should not be friends anyway. If you do the research. seriously. When men go into a relationship considering her a friend, it ends badly. When women go into a relationship looking for her "best friend" It ends badly. It ends badly because relationships require respect and leadership. Friendship equals equal status. which equals the end of a relationship. Doubt that? Do the research. Women want someone to lead. Not modern women? Modern women prove the fact even more. Just do the research. It's really sad and depressing for you men and women.
@@jasonnames "Just do research" what empirical peer reviewed research papers can you source?
big ups to Meisha for separating froms such a toxic and emotionally abusive partner. It's great to see her reap the benefits of protecting her energy and her dreams!
I think Miesha is a bit delusional 😅 But good for her for trying to reach her goals.
What makes you say she's a "bit Delusional"
This is not a therapy session.
This reminds me of Chuck saying he had the style to beat Jones smh
She'd make more money with an Only Fans account
Tru dat
She's a vice president of one championship company
Saw the leaked photos.
Would not pay for more.
I dont understand why people find her that attractive, she's honestly not that attractive to me. Go out and see the world dude, theres girls out there who are actually pretty
@@gmcdoogle5018 we aren't all the same, its abit narrow minded to think the whole world see's things through your eyes lol
How dare Bryan tell you to hang it up because you aren't dedicated or emotionally tough enough to win anymore. Blame ANYONE ELSE
I've cried in joy after two fights. Rose winning the title and Miesha winning the title!!!
Both epic 👌🔥
Miesha Tate looks great and I m glad she’s coming back for a few fights , but she doesn’t have a chance of beating Amanda Nunes.
Glad to see her back. Awesome competitor. Beautiful story and person.
Her ex sounds like a real special person, Glad she got that mooch out of her life.
yeye, a bad boy.
n then she continues to give him half of the interview where he can sue here civilly for slander. 200 iq
@@stockholmpublishings2937
You're mad
Yeah! Wow I was shocked at all that. 2 houses? Wow
There are two sides to every story
@@DelRey8000 3 side to every story
Miesha is so pretty that I feel uncomfortable when she is getting hit in the face
@@dmoney3491 yeah her face has changed a fair bit
I still fancy her and her bazookas are great
Awkward feeling i get
@@dmoney3491 for me she still looks really cute and i don't care that she had something done. you're just a part of this toxic part of mma community so screw you
@@dmoney3491 ok basement virgin
@@nanu421 Jesus someones got a crush 😻
The women’s division has evolved so much that I think it’s passed her by
She will win shes fighting a fighter who is 44 years old and hasn't won a fight in 5 years and on a 4 fight losing streak lol I think it's clear she will win
@@pedro55845 for the younger fighters probably no chance though
I'm so happy that she's back.
Putting Bryan on BLASSSSST.
Look i know a lot of ppl are skeptical about her return but I'm SOO DOWN for her coming back!! I LOVE me some Miesha!! Mmmhm 😍😍 She's a beast on the ground, so don't get it f*cked up
17:55 Ariel thinking about her vs Amanda thinking --she's out of her mind!
Everyone has a dream.
Tate's dream is to be the oldest woman to catch a critical beatdown from Nunes.
No disrespect.
that is MY dream. full disrespect
Mental health is a real issue. Respect to Miesha for sharing her journey!
Her coach really made her his sugar mommy and baby momma
Huh?
You didn't payed attention..her coach was her ex and she has no kids with him. Her current boyfriend is not her coach
Miesha vs the ring girls in a jelly wresting fight, wearing nothing but g-bangers would be the biggest ppv in history!
Thx,for the explanation!!!!
Im just madly in love with this woman's fascinating way's. Welcome back champ.
I know they're good friends but Tate vs Peña is a good fight. Grappler's delight.
i would like to see that too🙄
Miesha is awesome! I’m excited to see her come back, hope it goes well for her.
Meh
I am so happy for her return!
I'm looking forward to see her loose
I hope she achieves her dreams. I always have a soft spot for vets making that last run for gold.
she already won the belt
@@kevmadison1195 I know but it wasn't an impressive run. She lost it immediately. This is that daring to be great type of stuff. Like when Alistair tried to do his final run for the heavyweight title even though it didn't work. I was rooting for him too.
@@justnickperiod4658 she has not shot at beat amanda
@@michaelrogers4806 I didn't say she would. What compelled you to say she had no chance? I just said I "hoped" she accomplished what she was working for because it's a bold move and I respect that. I hope you got whatever you were looking to get out of your comment because it certainly wasn't a reply to anything I actually said.
She's very beautiful and attractive
My OCD couldn’t look away from those crooked pictures lol
Now I can't look away! 😂
First thing I noticed she needs a spirit level
I’ll come straighten them for a RZR or RV lol.
First thing I noticed. ;-)
Excited for Miesha's return. Shocked to hear it, didn't think she would come back.
She was always such an asset to the MMA and glad to hear she is in a better place regarding her personal life .
This will not end well for Tate. Female UFC has come on leaps and bounds. It's definitely a different era to when Tate was active.
Does anyone else remember when Colby Covington verbally violated Meisha Tate on her own podcast. Lmao
Bro I don't even like colby but he flamed her 😂 they didn't keep that same energy with how they were talking about colby before he went on
What happened and were can I watch lol
Happy for Miesha 🙏🏽
Sounds confident, and in a good mental space. Good luck on the comeback Miesha!
Ariel shamelessly pulling Meisha's dirty laundry for everyone lmao. Media is shameless smh lol
miesha tate seems like a great person.. but no way she beats nunes.
Meisha getting back to the grind💯💯
I think she does good , very underrated. IDK after years off but I will watch n see
Plastic surgery is not free ..I back.. trust me I black..
Bae is back
Loved this 💗 Big ups Miesha 🙌
I was watching some highlights from her previous fights in the UFC, she was very tough and gritty
If they told the truth
Ariel: so why now. Why come back
Tate: well the pandemic hit and I couldn’t work, So I ended up spending all my UFC savings. So I figured I’d come back and make some money.
VP jobs usually make north of 200k at year.
Win or lose, I just hate seeing Miesha get her face punched in and smashed in a fight.
Anyone else feel the same way?? 😭
i am so happy for her!
Great interview. Amazing woman.
Sorry but you don't get off the couch, come back and beat Nunes lol
Ariel is the Oprah of the MMA world .. lol :)
😂
i’ll always root for meisha in a fight. let’s she if she’s still has the hunger to put her opponents away!
Miesha Tate had a great mix martial arts career. Miesha is really down to earth and good person .
She went through trials and tribulations ( some of the most exciting ufc fights ever) to become UFC Champion.
I was happy she retired and doing well. Every Champion has their time. I was hoping she would start acting, Miss Tate would make a great action hero or secret agent, etc.etc. Miesha had some of the best ever UFC sports workout clothing , active wear, etc.etc.
Hearing this is so ironic lol imma leave it at that 😭
I need to know!? Please
😍 all i gotta say
Weird how US athletes feel comfortable telling their whole life story in an interview. Why do we care about this? Keep it to MMA.
Happy for her 🙏🏾
Money is over and now she must fight like mostly of them is simple
Her nose is still screwed up from that amanda fight
She looks a lot worse now with all that facial reconstruction
@@calvincalvin3132 dude right? She looks totally different. Botox an all that totally changed here
Meisha has such class. Welcome back and it's good to see you competing again.
Ohh my lovely 💓 Tate...jus luv seeing her..n ua more Dan beautiful nw...n can't wait to see u fight again...n hope ul be a champ 1es again vry soon,..muuuaaahhh tate
Why is people disliking her so bad, she is a legend
Because she is talented, smart, pretty, and doesn’t communicate like a lot of women. She’s a little awkward. For some reason, this combination bothers ppl
@Ra’s Al Ghul other women are, though. That I can tell you.
Why the dislikes? Miesha is awesome
Free thinking mate, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
@@jonoharper4729 a simple, yet underrated response to questions like this online
@@jonoharper4729 Yep but just because someone can have an opinion doesn't make them good or even justified. You need more than "I can think, so my opinion it's valid".
This is a first. And a new role. Ariel the good ear, relationship counselor.
Idk for sure but I’d think VP of ONE had to be a fairly lucrative job to step away from. But everyone needs to follow their path
Wish her luck in her future endeavors
Hottest female ufc fighter!!! 😍
Lol no
Amanda ribas is better theres way better out there
Lipski
@@Napoleon-Blownapart This guy knows
@@Napoleon-Blownapart You have good taste 👊
They weren't even married she could of just tossed up the duces and gave him nothing.
So much better than relapsing back into a relationship
She was my favorite woman's fighter hope the best for her.
Love me some misha She's old school I hope she has a new coach .. Bantamweight has improved since she has been out...good luck girl 🤑
Yay....
She's coming back to let Amanda finish her off for good, this time.
If her skillset hasn't progressed, she should have just stayed where she was.
She won't even get past her first fight
“She got smoked by cat zingano” ... you too luv
Not really miesha was dominant before the finish
It was a super competitive and great fight.
0:00 Miesha being perfect and gorgeous
And she is still staring right into the sun all the time. Amazing.
Gotta lov yall sum Cupcake..
She has retired from retirement.
I have watched this sport since the beginning and Miesha is a class act, so glad she is coming back to re-energise division😁✌️✌️✌️
I hope nothing but the best for Miesha, I feel so bad about her prime bieng so full of turmoil. Imagine a free Misha then
Ariel asked her to confirm weather it’s husband or partner because he knows he wants to be the sugar daddy since she needs money
Does that mean she is not married and had a kid with her business partner who is also her boyfriend‽
Ariel is married with 3 Kids Dufass ....
@@mikeskidmore6754 and this has to do with what lol
It seems like whatever dark place she was in, she hasn’t recovered from it. And she’s looking to find closure through this sport
Wow 🤩
She's gorgeous
Poor girl needs money that's has to be one of the big reasons she came back her ex must have drained her dry I don't blame her
