Tate faced secured a win against Marion Reneau and then faced a loss against Ketlen Vieira. Now, ‘Cupcake’ is looking for his next opponent and she certainly knows a name who is not on that list and she is Aspen Ladd.
Ladd called out Miesha Tate earlier this month to settle down their beef with Tate started when she accused Ladd to cheat on the scale during the weigh-ins of UFC Vegas 38 and later got engaged in a verbal sprawl with his head coach and boyfriend, Jim West.
Following Miesha Tate’s loss, Aspen Ladd called her out to solve the problems like adults inside the Octagon. But ‘Cupcake’ doesn’t want to find someone who has a history of missing weight. Talking about her fight against Ladd in her latest Youtube video, Miesha Tate says,
“Aspen Ladd has called me out to a fight at 135 pounds, I’m afraid that I’m going to waste an entire camp training for a fight that may very well end at the scale. Aspen Ladd has missed weight three times in her MMA career and one time she failed to make it to the fight due to weight cutting issues.”
“So all in all, four times. Go to PI Performance Institute to show some kind of progression. If one of these other bantamweights wants to take that risk then hats off to them.” {H/T MMA Fighting}
Miesha Tate demands Aspen Ladd to win some fights at 135 first to face her
Aspen Ladd consistently struggled throughout her career to make weight at 135. In her fight against Germaine De Rendamie, she nearly collapsed on the scale and this thing has happened many times.
That’s why Miesha Tate advised her to make weight first and face someone else in 135 division before facing her. Tate says, “If Aspen Ladd can show up, make 135 pounds, and have a good performance then we might be talking, but until then, I’m out. It’s not personal, it’s professional.” {H/T MMA Fighting}
