Follow Us
UFC President Dana White spoke to the media at the press conference for UFC 260 and went over some fight news. White was asked to weigh in on the return of celebrated women’s MMA pioneer Miesha Tate to the UFC. He had plenty to say about the former bantamweight champion and shared an interesting story that involved ‘Cupcake’ Tate.
Miesha Tate has been out of the game since she spontaneously retired following her loss to Raquel Pennington. Tate left on a two-fight skid that included a defeat to Amanda Nunes at UFC 200, which began Nunes’ 135-pound championship reign. Miesha Tate’s inclusion back in the ranks at 135-pounds clearly means she’s gunning for a rematch against ‘The Lioness’.
There are plenty of match-ups that make sense at bantamweight, which is a division currently stalled for marquee bouts. Tate’s return is rather timely in that regard, and fans have had a field day in match-making for her.

We’ll get your nose taken care of, we’ll go to the best guy in LA and get your nose done or whatever. She did it, and then she fought Amanda Nunes. You’ll see in that fight, Amanda Nunes punches her right in the nose and you saw her fold.”
