Here's the fight video of Miesha Tate vs Julia Avila from last night's UFC show in Austin, TX. This fight is at Bantamweight. Miesha is 37 years old. Since returning to the UFC in 2021, she has gone 1-3 and she hasn't looked good. One would think that if she lost this fight, she might retire. And she talked about that this week. Julia is 35 years old. She owns her own gym with her husband in Oklahoma City. We haven't seen her since 2021 because of pregnancy and knee surgery. She is 3-1 in the UFC but what will she be like after a long layoff. I don't think she's a great fighter. But in this situation, she's a good test for Miesha. Well, Miesha just killed Julia through two 10-8 rounds and then won in round three with a rear naked choke. I looked at Miesha's entire career and she has never won a fight this dominantly. But was this a fluke. Maybe she was just fired up because of the retirement talk. The best way to find out is to have her fight a top contender. Pickings are slim in the Bantamweight division. But the winner of next month's Ketlen Vieira vs Macy Chiasson fight could be the way to find out if Miesha is for real. The winner could get a title shot. Well, at least Miesha got a $50,000 bonus for winning this fight. Enjoy the video!
