Miesha Tate is a former UFC women's bantamweight champion, and is credited as one of the first to put women's fighting on the map. Host Andrew Kurland sits down with Tate in Las Vegas, Nevada to discuss Miesha's upbringing, mentality and approach to fighting at the highest level. Tate details her day-to-day life as an athlete, the longest period she has ever fasted, and shares how mental health plays into an athlete's life.

Plus, she shares how fighting first came on her radar, how she kept her newly found passion a secret from her dad, and shares the story of her bloody first fight that left her wanting more. Tate also dives into the concept of fear during a fight, and whether or not she feels pain in the moment. It's a conversation you won't want to miss.
