It should probably come as little surprise that this woman was somewhat of a tomboy during her younger life, preferring to hang out with the boys at the playground.

We can only assume this is where she first started to learn about how to handle herself in a fight!

14Wrestling Started Early

When deciding on what sport to play while at High School, Tate struggled to really find something she wanted to do.

In the end, she nailed it down to either basketball or wrestling, before eventually deciding that wrestling was what she wanted to do with her free time.

13The Boys Team Beat Her Pretty Bad

Starting out, she practiced with the boys wrestling team at school. She had no previous experience with the sport, meaning that she was like a fish out of water.

She has noted that she got beaten pretty bad on a regular basis during this time, before competing in the women’s state championship during senior year and winning.

12A Friend Got Her Into MMA

It was only when a friend asked her to come to the school’s MMA club with her that she found a love for the type of fighting that would follow her for the rest of her life.

Once there, she became interested in what it was that made a good MMA fighter, and whether she would have to strike others.

11She Was Hesitant At First

Tate was hesitant to enter into her first MMA match, as she wasn’t used to being hit. Starting out in wrestling meant that most of her fighting expertise centered on grappling and getting people onto the mat.

After seeing her friends take part in a few fights, she decided to get involved as well.

10The Best Way To Learn, Is To Do!

Taking part in her first fight was interesting for Tate, who mainly attempted to get her opponents into grapples. It wasn’t until the support in her corner reminded her that she should be striking while grappling that it all started to fit into place for her.

From that point on, she started to do better and better in the amateur scene.

9Going Pro

Tate went Pro with a 5-1 amateur record, showing that she had enough promise to fulfill any contract that was handed to her.

However, much of the beginning of her time as a professional fighter was with organizations that shy away from televising their fights, so it was a while before she hit the mainstream.

She moved on from there to achieve huge success after winning her first title within MMA.

7Her First Title

The first title that Tate managed to acquire was the FCF Women’s Bantamweight Championship, seemingly struggling in the first round after being knocked down.

It wasn’t long before she was clearly dominating the competition though, leaving that day with the title firmly in her hands.

6Signing With The UFC Brought Her Real Fame

After Strikeforce folded, the UFC was more than happy to sign up Tate after she had shown her prowess in various fights.

The moment that she started out with the UFC, she stated that her long-term goals were to become a UFC champion. Setting her sights on the Bantamweight Championship, she got to work.

5Tate And Rousey Had A Respectful Rivalry

Anyone that follows UFC will know that Tate and Rousey had somewhat of a friendly rivalry.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that when a determined woman like this sets her sights on something, it’s unlikely she will fail to get there.
