Last week, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate was the third ex-fighter to move to Southeast Asia and work for ONE Championship. But unlike Eddie Alvarez and Demetrious Johnson, “Cupcake” will take on a corporate function as Vice President, along with both a commentary and brand ambassador role for the Singapore-based promotion company.
During Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour, Tate discussed this career move in detail with Luke Thomas. According to her, it was mainly rooted to the drastic change of the UFC’s promotional style, which she no longer identifies with.
“I think the promotion has gone so far one way, that I don’t really identify with it anymore,” Tate said (via MMA Fighting).
