Miesha Tate & Ronda Rousey recently spoke about their tough paths to stardom, here are the highlights…

Miesha Tate on Living in a Trailer: "We did that to cut costs so I wouldn't have to work, so that I could dedicate only time to training and fighting," she said. "I feel that was the right decision. It definitely paid off."

Ronda Rousey on Hard Times: "I don't have to sit around and listen to creeps all night long while I'm chugging down 7-Eleven coffee," she said. "I don't have to worry about going to McDonald's and realizing I don't have any cash in my wallet and realizing my credit card is maxed out and I can't afford McDonald's coffee. I don't have those problems any more, and all I have to do is have fun while talking to you guys. It's not a real chore, is it?"

Scott Coker on Their Success: "It's just different, right?" Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said. "We've had some amazing fights over the years, but you don't have the bantering back and forth. But the thing about is that this is real. This is not something that's formulated. But at the end of the day, these girls are real fighters. We're the beneficiary of all the surroundings of it. But to make it the main event was a great decision. It has the heat of a championship fight."
