Rousey vs Tate on TUF .... Icebreaker for women in the UFC?

Miesha Tate Loves the Idea of Coaching Opposite Ronda Rousey on The Ultimate Fighter

Through 15 seasons of The Ultimate Fighter reality show, the UFC and its television partners have seen and produced just about every angle possible in terms of coaches and fighters.

They’ve brought on heated rivals like Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as coaches. They’ve had YouTube street fighters like Kimbo Slice look to earn their way into the UFC through the reality show. There’s even been a live season of The Ultimate Fighter, although one is all anybody will be seeing of that format.

But if there is one element that The Ultimate Fighter has omitted through 15 seasons, heading into their 16th which debuts on FX in September, it’s a competition fueled by women’s mixed martial artists.

With this weekend’s Strikeforce card headlined by women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, it’s hard not to think that at some point down the road she and her biggest rival to date would make for great reality TV.

“I love it,” said Miesha Tate on MMAWeekly Radio when asked about her thoughts on coaching opposite Rousey on TUF. “I think that would be the fight to put on if they were going to do that. It doesn’t get any better than Ronda and I; two ladies who honestly have a rival between each other.” ...

My male "piggyness" aside, I would love to see this TUF as a door opener to the UFC for women's MMA. I think it would be a good opportunity to bring some up and commers into the show and foster another element of the MMA/UFC fan base.

The more people interested the more people watch.

I'd have no problems on free cards, but it would pretty much guarantee I wouldn't purchase a ppv if a chick fight was one of the main fights.
I guess that means I am sexist, but I just don't find women MMA interesting in the same way I don't find middle school women's basketball interesting but I love mens college basketball.

Do mens college basketball stars ... LOOK .... LIKE .... THIS... ?

I never said I'm not for them doing photo shoots.
Their fighting just sucks.

Why would it be Rousey and tate though? Its not like their fight was close. Rousey said she was going to break her arm and then did so in half a round.

Rousey and Cyborg maybe.

Pretty much because Dana hates Guyborg and loves Tate and Rousey.

haha, fair enough...

Joking aside. Nobody would give a crap about WMMA if there were not hot chicks.

BS ... there was a time on this site where everyone was willing to do Cyborg.... but remain guilty. She ain't hot.

Whoa, wait. What!?!

I don't recall that time.....

Trigg... you were drunk and .... sorry to say..... but you were seen doing her....

Alcohol is a dangerous drug.....

If there was ever a time when I was drunk enough to bang that guy, I would have died of alcohol poisoning.
