Here's the fight video of Yana Santos vs Miesha Tate from last night's UFC show in Des Moines, IA. This fight is at Bantamweight. Of course these are veteran fighters. Yana is 35 years old from Saint Petersburg, Russia. She trains at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, FL. Her UFC record is 5-5. And that's the kind of fighter Yana is. She's just not very good. And the best part is she's ranked ninth. Miesha is 38 years old from Tacoma, WA. She trains at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. She's a former Bantamweight champ. Her UFC record is 7-6. Since returning in 2021, Miesha has gone 2-2 including a loss at Flyweight. And she's ranked 12th. Ten years ago, Miesha would have beaten Yana easily. But Miesha ain't who she used to be. The first two rounds show that Miesha doesn't have the quickness she once had as Yana wins both rounds with evasive action. Miesha couldn't do anything with her. Finally, Miesha takes Yana down in round three. Remember, she needs a finish. She has the opportunity to finish Yana with ground & pound. But instead she goes for a rear naked choke and never gets it. That's an inexcusable stupid mistake by a veteran fighter who should know better. I scored the fight 29-28 for Yana and so did all three judges. Miesha should retire but she didn't do that last night. Enjoy the video!
