Miesha Tate releases statement after tough loss at UFC Vegas 43: ‘I was never tied to an outcome’

Former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate had a rough night at the office on Saturday, losing a unanimous decision to Ketlen Vieira in the main event of UFC Vegas 43. ‘Cupcake’ was beaten to the punch consistently during the five-round contest and was bloodied up for her troubles.

Despite losing her second fight since returning from retirement, Tate was upbeat in her post-fight comments and yesterday she expressed that she “had fun” going up against Vieira.

“Hey we had fun tonight!!,” she exclaimed. “I still feel like I evolved and in truth I was never tied to an outcome.
