Ronda Rousey fell victim to the hype she created, resulting in her UFC title fight loss to Holly Holm.

That's what Miesha Tate, the challenger for Holm's first women's bantamweight title defense believes, according to Fox Sports.

Dana White Disrespects Holly Holm Again To Appease Ronda Rousey

In assessing why she believes herself to be a more worthy adversary for Holm than the once-thought-to-be-invincible Rousey, Tate said Rousey's game plan was predicated on a fallacy that made it impossible for her to beat the upstart Holm.

"I think Ronda went into that fight with Holly thinking, 'If I don't finish this girl in under two minutes, I'm already a failure,' and she went in there with such desperation to get a quick finish -- she had 25 minutes to get that fight to the ground and submit Holly," Tate told Fox Sports. "I think Ronda is capable of that, but I think she mentally beat herself up after not being able to do that in the first round. Hey it's OK, you have 20 more minutes, like, relax for a second."

Not Reviewing Holly Holm Fight Could Doom Ronda Rousey's Career

Tate is scheduled to face Holm at UFC 197 on March 5 and said she is not bound by the same pressures Rousey placed on herself in her match against Holm last November.

"She just went out there like a charging bull in a china shop and she allowed Holly to play the perfect game plan. Holly was the matador, Ronda was the bull. The bull fell victim," Tate said. "I'm not like Ronda at all in my fighting style. I present different challenges and I have a lot more ring experience and I've been battle tested. I'm definitely a battle-tested veteran. I know I can take a punch to give a punch and I don't fear the clock.

"I don't care if it takes me 24 minutes and 59 seconds to win that fight, I will be in it to win it. I will be patient when I need to be patient, I will be explosive when I need to be explosive. I will be calculated and precise and I will do exactly what I need to do to win this fight."

Tate was absolutely giddy after Holm knocked out Rousey in November, saying, "I'm f---ing stoked; f--- Ronda Rousey," Tate told MMA News Source. "F--- her and her 'Nobody has the right to beat me.' Nobody has the right to beat you? Well you just got beat, b-tch. ... Anyways, I'm proud of Holly. She had a perfect, flawless game plan. She came in with it (Saturday) and now she is the champion."
