Cyborg & Tate Comment on Holly Holm Getting a Title Shot Before They Do

August 27, 2015 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Miesha Tate and Cris “Cyborg” Justino recently spoke with TMZ Sports about Holly Holm getting a title shot against Ronda Rousey. Here is what they had to say…

Tate on Not Getting The Title Bout: “I didn’t know about it until the rest of the world – probably after since I was still sleeping,” Tate shrugged with a half-hearted laugh. “The reason they are telling us it isn’t happening is because Rousey vs. Holm sells more.”

Cyborg on Tate Deserving The Shot: “It surprised everybody. I don’t think this is about money. If you are in line, you fight for the belt. I think Tate deserves it.”

Cyborg on a Fight With Rousey: “Everyone wants to see us fight. It is not my choice or her {Rousey’s] choice, but the fans’ choice. I’m ready. Let’s go fight.
