Miesha Tate will return to action in a bantamweight bout against Yana Santos on May 3.
Tate initially revealed the pairing in a post on Instagram, and it was subsequently confirmed by Santos. The UFC has not formally announced the fight. The UFC Fight Night event is expected to take place in Des Moines, Iowa.
“I’ve still got what it takes and if you doubt me, please stick around. Mark your calendars,” Tate wrote.
A former Strikeforce and UFC bantamweight queen, Tate hasn’t competed since defeating the recently-retired Julia Avila via third-round submission at UFC on ESPN 52 in December 2023.
