LAS VEGAS — Miesha Tate nearly missed the window to weigh-in Friday morning for UFC 200, because she was having a harder time cutting weight than usual, according to her coach.
Tate's coach Robert Follis told Submission Radio that the UFC women's bantamweight champion's weight was just not coming off as quickly as it usually does. Tate was almost late for the 8 a.m.-to-10 a.m. weigh-in here at Monte Carlo, but checked in before 10 and hit the scale at 10:02 a.m.
A UFC spokesperson said if Tate had missed the two-hour window, her main event title fight with Amanda Nunes would have been off.
