What is Miesha Tate’s UFC record and when did she retire?
Miesha officially joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in February 2013.
Her record is 19-9-0, meaning she has 19 wins, 9 losses and no draws.
Tate retired from MMA back in 2016 to explore options outside of the sport and start her family.
She returned in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, revealing she had left the sport in a “dark place”.

She added: “I’m ready to make that comeback. I’m ready to make that second surge at my career.”
