Miesha Tate, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, is set to make her return to the promotion. Tate on Wednesday informed ESPN’s Brett Okamoto of her decision to return to action.
Tate, who was also at one point the Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champion, has been retired from professional MMA since November 2016 after being defeated by Raquel Pennington.
Tate will fight Marion Reneau in her comeback fight at a UFC event scheduled for July 17. Reneau is coming off of a four-fight losing streak, with her most recent fight being a loss to Macy Chiasson.
