Miesha Tate believes the third time will be the charm if she faces Ronda Rousey again.

Appearing on FOX Sports Radio's "Jay Mohr Sports" on Monday, the new UFC women's bantamweight champion expressed doubt about Rousey having the mindset necessary to reclaim her crown after experiencing suicidal thoughts following her loss to Holly Holm in November.

"What about Ronda's mentality?" Tate said, according to Marc Raimondi of MMA Fighting. "I think Ronda is beating herself up over this. I mean, she previously said that she's so emotional to the point where she's considering crazy things. It's like, this is a broken woman. I don't know if she'll ever come back the same.

"But I have proven that I can come back from adversity and I do come back and I will come back. And there's no one in this sport that can break me. I have the strongest mindset of anybody in there."

The landscape of the women's bantamweight division was turned upside down when Tate choked out Holm in the final round of their title fight at UFC 196 to become world champion.

Tate barely had time to celebrate as UFC president Dana White has already named Rousey the next fighter in line to challenge her. The two women have fought a pair of title fights, with Rousey winning by armbar both times.
