Miesha Tate recently retired following a rough decision loss to Raquel Pennington.
She recently spoke of that last fight with MMAjunkie
“I went in there, but I just couldn’t pull out of myself what I needed to really make the fight winnable,” Tate said.
Tate is incredibly excited to get straight back into grappling with 2nd edition of Chael Sonnen’s Underground set for December.
“I love jiu-jitsu a lot, and I’m really excited to display it on it a different field,” Tate said. “It’s different when you’re fighting. You have to worry about people trying to get back up all the time, so it’s different. I think this is going to be a whole new avenue to express myself as an athlete, so I think it will be fun.”
As for what’s next, Tate’s looking to transition into a broadcasting gig or whatever’s next:
“Everybody has been so awesome and so supportive, and I definitely appreciate that in the transition of everything,” Tate said. “It’s been good so far. Life’s been good.”
