Quotes from

Miesha Tate:

I think it’s great to have the aspect of beauty.  It’s great that we both embrace being beautiful,empowered, strong women.

I think that the most important thing is that we deliver inside of the cage.

I think at 4-0 she is not as deserving as some other women for a title shot, but I understand why.

Ronda Rousey:

Anything could happen, someone could die.  This is going to be a huge fight.

Judo is a great grappling art for MMA.  I think it’s the best way to take anyone down from the clinch.  You go into submissions right away; I think it’s been unappreciated.

I understand the comparison (to Brock Lesnar having a title fight early in his career.)

I have enough friends and I could use a few enemies (about Miesha.)

I don’t feel bad about it (trash talking before the fight.)

StrikeForce CEO Scott Coker:
Derek Brunson did not pass medicals and Jacare does not have an opponent as of now.

Coker not concerned at all about having Ronda fight for a title with less than a round of cage time experience wise.
