Career overview
Miesha Tate, an orthodox stance bantamweight from the United States with a professional record of 20-10-0, built her career on a balanced approach combining grappling and striking. Over her career, Tate averaged 2.62 strikes landed per minute with 44% accuracy while absorbing 3.05 strikes per minute and defending 51% of incoming strikes.
Her grappling credentials include 1.97 takedowns attempted per 15 minutes at 30% accuracy, 56% takedown defense, and an average of 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, reflecting her submission-oriented wrestling approach. Recent fight results show a mixed record: she defeated Rin Nakai via unanimous decision in September 2014 and Holly Holm via submission in the fifth round in March 2016, but suffered losses to Ketlen Vieira (unanimous decision, November 2021), Raquel Pennington (unanimous decision, November 2016), and most recently Yana Santos (unanimous decision, May 2025).
Tate's career has seen her compete against elite-level opposition, including a submission loss to Ronda Rousey in 2012, and her recent performances indicate she remains competitive in the bantamweight division despite the challenging 3-5 record in her last eight fights.
