Miesha Tate interested in grappling match with Cyborg, won’t rule out return to MMA

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate is itching for a comeback, but not in MMA.

Speaking to James Lynch of Fanatics View in a recent interview Tate, who now serves as Vice President for ONE Championship, said she would love to take on Cris Cyborg in a grappling match.

“I have six (fights left on my UFC contract),” Tate said (h/t MMA Fighting). “So if I wanted to fight, which I’m not, I wouldn’t be able to fight anywhere else. So you wouldn’t see me pop up and fight for ONE Championship or anybody else because obviously, I can’t legally do that.
