Miesha Tate criticizes Ronda Rousey for lack of growth as a person years removed from UFC rivalry

Miesha Tate says she doesn’t hold a grudge against Ronda Rousey these days and wishes her former foe was simply capable of doing the same, but she doesn’t see it.

Rousey, who became a mainstream star as the first UFC women’s bantamweight champion when females broke into the promotion in 2013, has spoken candidly about the downfall of her MMA career in her most recent interviews.

Rousey said she was concussed when she stepped into the cage for her November 2015 fight with Holly Holm, which Rousey lost in stunning fashion by head-kick knockout. Those remarks weren’t received well by critics who considered them an excuse that took away from Holm’s performance.
