After more than four years in retirement, Miesha Tate is once again a part of the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie women’s bantamweight rankings.
This past weekend, the former UFC champion returned to action for the first time since 2016, taking on Marion Reneau on the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 26. While Reneau was hoping for a memorable performance in her retirement bout, Tate was dominant from the start before scoring a third-round TKO win.
With the result, Tate re-enters the rankings at No. 11, where she will begin her quest to regain the UFC title.
Of course, the women’s bantamweight division wasn’t the only one to experience some changes after a busy weekend that included UFC on ESPN 26 and Bellator 262. Take a look at the updated rankings across all divisions using the dropdown list above.
