Miesha Tate may very well be one of the friendlier fighters in the UFC's Women's Bantamweight division, the nickname "Cupcake" has certainly got to be a tribute to that sweet personality of those. However, it seems that if you mess with something close to her, she'll completely change that route that we know her all so well for.

Recent controversy over the internet involving her boyfriend Bryan Caraway's most recent fight has seem to have drawn that side of her as Miesha recently released the following message via her Facebook account:

Miesha Tate's Fan Page said:
All you idiots running your mouths about bryan FINISHING his fight via fishhook need to be slapped! First of all he accidentally fish hooked Goyo IN THE FIRST ROUND AND FINISHED THE FIGHT CLEAN IN THE 2nd ROUND!!!!!! Completely unrelated!! Furthermore you can 100% tell the fishhook was an accident BC goyo was able to TURN AWAY from the fishhook which means Bryan had absolutely NO pressure on it aka HE WASNT TRYING TO USE IT OR HE WOULD HAVE RIPPED GOYOS FACE TO THE LEFT INSTEAD OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WHERE GOYO TURNED AWAY FROM THE FISHHOOK TO THE RIGHT. and SHAME on Bjpenn. com for a misleading title implying the fishhook had anything to do with the finish. Lastly, GOYO confirmed he DIDNT even realize the fishhook had happened which also confirms there was NO pressure on it or he would have known it had happened. Show me where the "Fishhook" is in the finish? Ya that's what I thought.

Fish hooking is an illegal technique in which the fighter grabs from inside the mouth and rips to the outside of the face. Apparently while working for a choke Caraway accidentally fish hooked Erik Perez in his fight but cleanly finished in the second round. The technique drew ire from the MMA world which caused Tate to outlash the way she did.

Currently no fight has been announced yet for Tate who is 1-2 in her octagon debut. She dropped her UFC debut in a number one contender's match against Cat Zigano, but when Zigano was forced out with an ACL injury Tate took her place against Ronda Rousey where she was submit in Rd. 3 (although both fights gained her fight of the night honors). She recently took home her first UFC win against Liz Carmouche in the co main event of the last UFC on Fox Saturday in Orlando, Florida.
