Zoila Frausto Ready for Miesha Tate

Zoila FraustoZoila Frausto’s win makes a statement going into her Strikeforce showdown with Miesha Tate.Whoever thought Zoila Frausto (5-0) was just a striker has completely underestimated her. Frausto remained undefeated after getting her fifth win in a row and her first non-decision win in dramatic fashion, as she was able to secure an armbar on fellow striker, Jessica Rakoczy (0-2) at 1:17 in the second round at the Tachi Palace Fights 3 card Thursday night. Frausto looked good, controlling the fight with the more dynamic striking. Once the fighters went to the mat, Rakoczy’s lack of a ground game was evident. Frausto took advantage and locked on the winning submission.

Frausto’s submission victory serves as a warning to her upcoming opponent, grappler and # 10 Bantamweight Miesha Tate (8-2) at the Strikeforce Challenger’s card in Frausto’s hometown of Fresno, CA on March 26.

Frausto has been called “too cocky” by Tate in a few interviews, but Frausto wants to prove that she works hard to get to the top of the game.

“I’m confident in what I do, and in my preparation for these fights, and the only way I see myself coming out when the dust settles is on top!” Frausto states. “There are plenty of things I can say to fire back at those false statements, but I’ll keep my mouth shut and just show everyone on March 26th on Showtime who Zoila Frausto really is.”
