Eric Nicksick wasn’t surprised Miesha Tate walked away from MMA competition in November 2016, but he also wasn’t shocked that the former bantamweight champion was ready to give it another go a little over four years later.
Tate will return to action this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 31 when she faces Marion Reneau, which will emanate from the UFC APEX. While it is Tate’s return to the cage, the bout will serve as the final one of Reneau’s career.
The Xtreme Couture head coach has been impressed by the tenacity and will Tate has shown to make another run inside the octagon.
