Miesha Tate is all set to return to action this weekend against Marion Reneau at UFC on ESPN 26. ‘Cupcake’ is returning to the Octagon for the first time in 5 years. She last competed at the UFC 205 event against Raquel Pennington and lost via a unanimous decision.

Since then Tate has not competed in any professional MMA fight and was peacefully retired. However, since the end of last year, ‘Cupcake’ had often expressed her desire to return to action. Many people including UFC President Dana White were skeptical of Tate’s decision to return to the Octagon. In the end, though a fight was made final, and Tate will be returning to action this weekend.

Before her upcoming fight at UFC on ESPN 26, Tate has recently taken to Twitter to showcase her physique. ‘Cupcake’ looks really fit in those pictures and seems ready to take on Reneau.

Along with the pictures, Tate also wrote a caption. She wrote, “It’s Fight WEEK! It’s been a minute since we could say that! WOOO, baby! LFG!”

While Tate certainly looks really fit and ready to take on any challenge. Most fans believe that the problem Tate might face will be the lack of fight practice. Many people believe that even though Tate is a former UFC champion, staying away from fighting too long would have affected her fighting sense.

UFC President Dana White is really concerned about Miesha Tate’s nose ahead of her comeback fight at UFC on ESPN 26. White was excited about Tate’s return but was also concerned about her nose, which she fixed before her fight against Amanda Nunes.


He said, “I told her not to do this. Right before her last fight, she got her nose fixed because she had some damage to her nose. And she got her nose fixed. I told her, Don’t do it, I’ll fix your nose when you’re done. When you’re done, I’ll fix your nose.”

“She did it, and if you watch the Amanda Nunes fight, she gets hit by Amanda Nunes in the nose and she didn’t like it. She and I haven’t talked about this, but a big mistake. Over the last five years, she’s obviously given her nose plenty of time to heal. She’s had some kids, built a family, got her nose straight, so I’m happy for her.”
