Miesha Tate is certainly relieved to get a first UFC win under her belt, though she admits the performance left a lot to be desired. In Saturday’s UFC on FOX 11 co-headliner, Tate (14-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC) overcame a slow start to rally and defeat fellow former UFC title challenger Liz Carmouche (9-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC). The network-televised bout, which airs on FOX from Orlando, Fla.’s Amway Center, was another a high-profile slot for Tate, though she admitted the doubts crept in. After Cat Zingano rallied to defeat her in her promotional debut, and following a commendable but losing effort against reigning women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in her second bout, Tate said her latest outing got off to a lackluster start.
