UFC champ Miesha Tate explains what her perfect date would be like

Of course it involves cupcakes

Miesha Tate is known for being forthright, even by the UFC’s standards.

The reigning bantamweight champion famously tracked down a policeman who tried to sneak a peek at her backside during the UFC weigh-in, while her take on Conor McGregor’s ‘red panty night’ catchphrase went down brilliantly.

And now the 29-year-old has followed rival Ronda Rousey’s advice in opening up about the dating game.

<> on March 18, 2016 in Brisbane, Australia.

While Rousey hit the headlines for agreeing to accompany Jarrod Haschert to the Marine Corps Ball, Tate has gone down a different route, simply explaining what her perfect date night would consist of.

“For me it would be a home-cooked meal,” Tate told Maxim in a Facebook live Q&A session.

“Surprise me, vacuum for me. And make dinner for me. I absolutely love pad thai. And obviously cupcakes afterwards,” added the champ. Well, her nickname is ‘Cupcake’, so at least one of those things shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Maybe it’s time for her boyfriend and coach, Bryan Caraway, to up his game.
