UFC women's bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate will be the special guest of Nascar, the North American Stock Car, for the Michigan stage. The fighter will act as honorary commissioner of the event, which takes place on June 12th.
Miesha will closely watch the Sprint Cup race, the main division of the category, and will give the traditional order for the drivers to start their engines shortly before the start. The president of the circuit, Roger Curtis, celebrated the athlete's presence.
“Many of our guests are UFC fans. I am certainly one of them. It will be exciting to share all the great things about NASCAR with her in Michigan and welcome her to an exciting event in our version of the Octagon.”
Currently, Miesha Tate is preparing for her first UFC belt defense, which will take place on July 9th, against the Brazilian Amanda nunes. She won the belt in March, when she submitted Holly holm in dramatic fashion at UFC 196.
