One of the headliners from UFC Vegas 43 on Saturday night is facing an extended period away from the Octagon.
Miesha Tate appears to have suffered multiple nose fractures in her unanimous decision loss to Ketlen Vieira. Tate needs clearance from an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor to avoid the potential six-month suspension she was handed on Tuesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). If she is not cleared, then ‘Cupcake’ will be on the sidelines until May of next year.
Tate is joined by five other fighters who were also given 180-day terms: Joanne Wood, Adrian Yanez, Rafa Garcia, Lupita Godinez and Cody Durden.
