Despite two prior losses to Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate will be knocking on the door of a potential trilogy fight against the UFC bantamweight champion on Saturday.
As much as her 0-2 record against Rousey might stand in the way of securing another title shot, the 28-year-old Tate has just as much riding in her favor should she beat Eye. She has a long-standing rivalry with Rousey, which has somehow remained strong despite them already sharing a cage twice. She is the only Rousey opponent to ever make it out of the first round, which, considering Rousey's knack for sub-minute finishes, is a potential selling point in itself.
