Miesha Tate Beats Marion Reneau via 3rd-Round TKO in Return at UFC on ESPN 26

Miesha Tate is officially back. The former bantamweight champion was victorious in her comeback fight against Marion Reneau via third-round TKO in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 31 on Saturday.

Tate's wrestling and ground-and-pound carried the day for the former champion. After winning the first two rounds, she finally drew the referee stoppage in the final frame to claim the win.

The win for Tate brings to an end a retirement that has stuck since 2016. When Tate walked away from the sport, she had dropped back-to-back losses, including a unanimous decision to Raquel Pennington.
