Miesha Tate: I’m Holly Holm’s Kryptonite

Miesha Tate is scheduled to fight Holly Holm at UFC 196 for the women’s bantamweight title bout, and recently explained to FoxSports.com why this is the perfect match up for her.

“I really think that I’m Holly Holm’s kryptonite. I am the worst matchup that Holly could ask for. I have more ring experience. I have a wrestling background, which is a threat there and it’s a completely different style of takedowns. She has never fought a girl even close to my style in MMA… I’ve looked at all the opponents she fought, none of them have put the kind of pressure on her that I’m going to put on her,” Tate said.

“The right kind of pressure. It’s not the kind of pressure that’s reckless abandon, its not going to be desperation. It’s going to be an ‘oh (expletive)’ type of pressure. I think stylistically this is the perfect matchup for me and for Holly I know she wants to test herself and she wants to prove she’s the champion. And I have the most respect for her as an athlete for wanting to take on such a big challenge, but at the same time it’s like you’re going to get what you ask for and I don’t know if you’re going to like that.”

UFC 196 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday, March 5, 2016.
