“I couldn’t be more excited for the launch of Throwing Down with Renee and Miesha,” said Tate. “This show is going to be unlike any other in the history of SiriusXM so buckle up and enjoy the ride!”
“I am beyond excited to be working alongside a badass like Miesha. Two women getting to talk shop in the fight space is going to be so much fun,” said Paquette. “We need more female voices in the combat sports world, and I’m really looking forward to carving our own path. I can’t wait to join the SiriusXM team.”

Prior to her mixed martial arts career, Tate won the state championship as a high school wrestler in Washington and won the silver medal in the 2008 FILA Grappling World Championships.
