Miesha Tate recently returned to the UFC after almost a 5-year hiatus. ‘Cupcake’ returned at the UFC on ESPN 26 event, and faced Marion Reneau, and won that fight via a third-round TKO. After her victory, Tate made it clear that she is not just back for one fight and wants to win the UFC championship again.

Ever since Tate’s victory people have been speculating as to what she will do next. While Tate made it clear that she hopes to win the title, how and when she plans to do it remained a mystery. Now during a recent interview, Tate talked about the same, as ‘Cupcake’ revealed where she sees herself in a year’s time.

She said, “I see myself being a number 1 contender for sure and possibly right around that time lining myself up for that title fight. It kinds of depends on how quickly these next couple of fights go. But I think I should have at least 2 more before I’m fighting for a title.”

“So I know Holly’s been calling me out, and I’m more than willing to entertain that fight at some point. But I think right now I just got ranked No.8 which I’m stoked about. I am No. 8 now; I think I should fight someone in the 5 to 10 range, and then fight for a contender spot and then fight for the championship.”

“So a year from now I could have wrapped up that second fight and be looking for having won that contender fight and then fight or a title.”

‘Cupcake’ seemed clear about what she wants to do and hopes to challenge for the title in a year’s time.
