Miesha Tate wants Rin Nakai to remember her after their fight next month. Nakai, who is undefeated (16-0-1), likely already knows all about Tate, a superstar in women's mixed martial arts, but Tate wants a special place in Nakai's world.
"She's undefeated, so it's always exciting for me to try to put the first loss on someone's record," Tate told The Japan Times on Tuesday. "To be that only one, when she has to read her record from now on that says 16-1. It's like 'whoa, she only lost to who, one person, oh, Miesha!' That would be great."
Tate was in Japan earlier this week to take part in a promotional event ahead of her fight against Nakai, which will be a part of UFC Fight Night Japan on Sept. 20 at Saitama Super Arena.
