| Former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight champion Miesha Tate added to the UFC roster Former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight champion Miesha Tate added to the UFC roster - Bloody Elbow Quote:
More news coming in following reports that Strikeforce is shutting down operations after January 2013. Earlier today it was confirmed that Ronda Rousey would become the first female fighter on the UFC roster, and joining her is Miesha Tate, who gleefully announced this on Twitter. Quote:

@MieshaTate

| Tate last fought in August in an incredible war with Julie Kedzie on the preliminary card of Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman, with Tate emerging the victor with a dramatic 3rd round armbar with just 1:32 left in the fight. She is also the only one to take Ronda Rousey past even the one-minute mark of a fight, and that's not me exaggerating. Ultimately she had her arm taken by Rousey, but it remains the only competitive battle for Rousey in her MMA career.
Expect more confirmations from Strikeforce's women's roster in particular as the UFC tries to fill out their latest weight class. Bloody Elbow will provide plenty of coverage and updates over the coming days as the fun has only just started.

I know there are some mixed feelings about female fighters here on the board, but I think it could be really cool to have a TUF season for the female fighters. Not only would it help bring some notoriety to women's MMA, but it could also launch the careers for some of them who would never have had a chance anywhere else.

Do you think they able to find enough immature, douchebag female fighters to get drunk and act stupid? If not, I doubt they will do a TUF with women's MMA.

You'll also hit the market of females who watch those dumbass real world shows that are actually about nothing except drama.
