Although it was defeated in the UFC Long Island, Miesha gave the team luck. With fans in the stands, the team overcame Boston red sox in imposing fashion, winning 13-2.
If Tate has reasons to celebrate in baseball, the same cannot be said about his MMA career. An icon of the sport, the North American had a discreet performance and ended up being surpassed by Lauren Murphy in the unanimous decision of the judges.
With the stumble against the veteran, Miesha momentarily says goodbye to a title fight in the flyweight division. Last weekend's confrontation could lead the fighter to a confrontation against Valentina Shevchenko, who has reigned supreme in the group since 2018.
The setback also amplified Tate's poor run of form. The former bantamweight champion, who ended her retirement after six years of inactivity, now has two stumbles in three fights.
