After earning a reputation as a skilled fighter, with a particularly good ground-based game, she made her way into the UFC. She started fighting professionally in 2007 and had her first Strikeforce fight in 2008, a win by unanimous decision over Elaina Maxwell. From there, she took up MMA and studied Brazilian jiu-jitsu, using the grappling skills that she had learned from wrestling. She began as a wrestler in Tacoma, Washington, at Franklin Pierce High School, where she was the state champ in 2005. She holds an impressive 17-5 record for her career, and she is currently ranked as the #2 contender in the bantamweight division.
Miesha Tate is one of the biggest names in the women’s division of the UFC, next perhaps only to Ronda Rousey.
