“I definitely need to take some time to decide. It was a very long camp, the fight was postponed twice. I don't know if I'll continue at flyweight or go back to bantamweight, where I can enjoy it. The diet, for so long, made me want to blow my brains out. It was terrible. I think I can go back to bantamweight. I don't know. We will see. I need a little time to regroup and see what I can do,” Tate said while appearing on the “Sirius XM” program.

Despite the frustrating debut in the new category and admitting that he no longer needs to fight to live a comfortable life, Miesha Tate ruled out the possibility of retiring at the current time.

“I'm in a great moment in my life. It's not Chapter One. Chapter One was a little toxic and tumultuous and the struggle was my escape and my identity. It's not like that anymore, I continued to evolve and life is great. I have everything I need. I don't need to fight anymore. I just want. I want to do better than last time and I won't give up. It's an entirely new challenge. I want to make my mentality a little more competitive”, he concluded.
