Kevin Harvick has flexed his business muscle and added UFC star Miesha Tate to his growing stable at KHI Management.

Tate is the UFC's second-ranked female fighter in the 135-pound division and is scheduled to fight Rin Nakai on Sept. 20 in Tokyo.

She's also the second UFC fighter to join Harvick's athlete-representation company. Harvick's roster already includes fighter Donald ''Cowboy'' Cerrone.

Cerrone fights fellow 155-pound standout Bobby ''King'' Green in the co-main event of UFC 178 Sept. 27 in Las Vegas.

Tate was a coach on ''The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate'' in 2013. Tate is 14-5 but has lost twice to Ronda Rousey.
