Finally, the reason for doing so was revealed. Beth Pitbull not sign a contract to fight against Miesha Tate. The Brazilian, who exchanged several public barbs with the North American, was unable to sign to face her rival because she suffered a retinal detachment in her right eye during training, which required minor surgery there.
The athlete's manager, Wallid Ismail, stated that Bethe will return to training at the beginning of next year. “She had a detached retina, but she had silicone support placed and had a small surgery, which was successful. We're hoping she gets better in the next two or three months. I believe that after this period she can return to training 100%”, she said, in an interview with the channel’s website “Combat”.
At 31 years of age, Beth Pitbull has an undefeated record in professional MMA, with nine wins in nine fights. In the UFC, she defeated veteran Julie Kedzie, Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler. With your injury, Miesha Tate will face Sara McMann at UFC 183, at the end of January.
