The current UFC Bantamweight Champion, Miesha Tate, recently revealed that she is very frustrated about the questions concerning Ronda Rousey's next fight. The former UFC champion is expected to make a comeback this year after her defeat last year by Holly Holm. These rumors have paved way for the speculations that Rousey might take on Miesha in her comeback fight.

However, Tate confirmed that all the speculations are false and said that she will fight Brazilian mixed martial artist Amanda Nunes at the upcoming UFC 200 championship, reported Sports World News. The 29-year old also revealed that currently, she wants to remain focused on her game and not pay attention to the media rumors about her possible fights with Rousey or Holm in the future.

"I'll politely ask not to talk about Ronda because I'm not fighting Ronda and we don't know what's going on with her, but they will anyways and then they caption that one section if I politely answer something," said Miesha, as reported by Fox Sports.

"All the articles are about me and Ronda and it's quite misleading that I'm focused on her because I'm not. I'm really trying to stay focused on Amanda. That's the biggest battle I've really had to fight is with the media. That's been the biggest frustration."

There are reports that Tate wants to pay respect to her upcoming opponent, who according to her is quite strong and competitive, rather than commenting on Rousey's next fight rumors. It is stated that the current UFC champion wants to give all her effort in defending her belt. MMA fighting reported that Tate is currently preparing for her first title defense on July 9.

Meanwhile, there is also a possibility that Ronda Rousey's return fight would be with former Strikeforce Women's Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg. ESPN reported that Cyborg is more than ready to face Rousey in her next weight inside the Octagon. The 30-year old player called Rousey a weak-minded person for the suicidal act and said that she would kill her if they ever get a chance to fight.

Despite the rumors about Ronda Rousey's possible next fight, UFC president Dana White claimed that she won't be seen in action anytime soon.
