Miesha Tate's top 10 nearest neighbors span MMA media, rock bands, a fictional Marvel deity, and a seasonal retail chain — a mix that reflects a broad pop-culture audience rather than a pure combat-sports one.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.97 down to 0.93 with no single dominant neighbor pulling away from the pack. The two closest entries are The Ultimate Fighter (0.97) and Georges St-Pierre (0.96), followed tightly by Nathan Diaz (0.96), MMA Junkie (0.96), and MMAFighting.com (0.96). That MMA-specific cluster — two fellow athletes and two dedicated MMA websites — accounts for five of the ten slots. The remaining five break toward UFC News (0.96, a news publisher), Spirit Halloween (0.96, a department store), Thor (0.93, a fictional character), UFC Tonight (0.93, a TV show), and Sara Jean Underwood (0.93, a TV personality). Tallying subcategories: three Athletes, two Websites, one News Publisher, one Department Store, one Fictional Character, one TV Show, one TV Personality. No Musicians and Bands appear in the top 10, and only one non-MMA brand — Spirit Halloween — makes the cut, sitting at the same score tier as the sport's own media properties.
The flat distribution, combined with the cross-kind presence of a retail chain and a Marvel character at near-identical scores to core MMA figures, suggests an audience whose shape is defined as much by broad mainstream pop-culture consumption as by sport-specific fandom.
