Tate is one of the most experienced, well-rounded and dangerous female fighters the MMA world ever been graced to see.

Prior to her inevitable retirement this past year, she finally touched UFC gold after multiple tries against Holly Holm at UFC 196. Her performance was a flawless execution of her wrestling, grappling and strength and it was certainly one for the books.

Tate turned around after that fight and went on to defend her title against Amanda Nunes at UFC 200.

Her first title defence was a highly disappointing start to the end of her career, seeing as she not only had her nose broken, but the fight also finished early and her championship belt was subsequently wrapped around another woman’s waist.
