Miesha-Tate-vs-Cat-Zingano

Miesha “Cupcake” Tate vs Cat “Alpha” Zingano: The Rise of Women’s MMA 

By:  April Nonnie Cook

March 30th, 2013.

With all the current talk about the upcoming match between Tate v/s Zingano on The Ultimate Fighter season 17 Finale to see who will get the spot on TUF 18 to fight against Ronda Rousey, allow me to first say this: Win or Lose, these women have already accomplished so much.  They have shown their dedication, commitment and their love for the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.  They are, and as they should be, recognized and respected for where these ladies are carrying the sport.  So with that being said, let me ask who you got on that spot?

Let’s start with Cat Zingano (7-0).  She is an undefeated Colorado native who has been wrestling since her high school years.  She is also a world class BJJ pracitioner, winning the World Jiu Jitsu Championships in 2007.  Zingano is an aggressive fighter with great ground and grappling technic. She has proven by both knock out and submission that it doesn’t matter, she can stand or she can roll. She is a solid fighter No Doubt, I’m just not sure her experience will equal up to that of her opponent .

This brings us to Miesha Tate (13-3), a native of Washington.  She has a proven ground game with most of her wins coming by way of submissions.  She too wrestled in her high school years like Cat only it was on the boys wrestling team and she is a former Strikeforce fighter. This woman is tough!  She isn’t as aggressive as Cat, she is a much more laid back fighter even with in her personality it seems .  I don’t know if her stand up can handle  that of Zingano.

Now I am not sure who I want to win this fight. I have a feeling that Meisha “Cupcake” Tate will take the victory. I am basing my opinion on her experience out weighing that of Cat “Alpha ”Zingano.  I guess come April 13th we will see.  I will say that both are well deserving of the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Title shot to fight “Rowdy” Rhonda Rousey!
