Miesha Tate returned to the Octagon in July, cancelling a retirement she announced back in 2016. In her return fight Tate, who looked to be in the best shape of her life, defeated Marion Reneau by third round TKO.
After that win Tate was booked to fight Ketlen Vieira in the main event UFC Vegas 40 on October 16. However, that fight was called off after Tate tested positive for COVID-19.
Tate recently spoke to Combat Culture about her experience with the deadly virus (see above).
“It’s still clearing out of my lungs just a little bit, like when I wake up in the morning,” she said (ht MMA Mania).
