"It's kind of mind-blowing, honestly. "I never sat beside Conor before during a press conference and just listened to him doing his full gamut of mental warfare like he did. It was pretty impressive. "I don't know where we gets it from but he is really, in his own right, a genius. It was crazy to watch it unfold and jaw-dropping at times. A few times I caught myself laughing and thought, 'Oh my God, you should not be laughing at this point'. "He is really funny and very witty. He's a very, very intelligent man."Tate revealed that McGregor showing up almost 30 minutes late irritated UFC president Dana White and caused a lot of stress, and frantic phone calls, for officials backstage. She 'would not put it past' McGregor for showing up late on purpose, and to get into the mind of RDA. Tate also stated her belief that an "embarrassed" Ronda Rousey would come back to the promotion. She does not believe 'Rowdy', who beat her twice in the past, would be content to walk away from the UFC with a resounding loss to her name. If she records the win over Holm at UFC 197, Tate feels she will surely be the next fighter to get a crack at Rousey. She commented, "If I got out there and beat the girl that crushed Ronda, that will say a lot... It would be a big selling point."
