Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate left fight fans stunned when she suddenly announced her retirement in the Octagon<\/a> following her UFC 205 loss to Raquel Pennington earlier this month. The fight was a tough one for Tate, who dropped a unanimous decision, and was never able to really establish her dominance over the course of the three round fight.<\/a><\/p>\n

The loss made it two straight for Tate, who lost the UFC women’s bantamweight championship at UFC 200 in July to Amanda Nune<\/a>s when she was rocked and submitted in the very first round.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/a><\/p>\n

Following the loss to Pennington earlier this month, UFC cameras caught an exchange between Tate and her boyfriend, who is also her coach, Bryan Caraway, as she informed him and another cornerman that she no longer wanted to fight<\/a>, and that she no longer shows up in fights.<\/p>\n

While many wondered if the retirement was a hasty decision in the heat of the moment, Tate has stuck to her decision, and is now looking to move to competitive grappling.<\/p>\n

She spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI love jiu-jitsu a lot, and I\u2019m really excited to display it on it a different field,\u201d Tate told the combat sports media at UFC Melbourne (transcribed by MMA Junkie). \u201cIt\u2019s different when you\u2019re fighting. You have to worry about people trying to get back up all the time, so it\u2019s different. I think this is going to be a whole new avenue to express myself as an athlete, so I think it will be fun.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Miesha<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, in the wake of her retirement, Tate was praised by former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub as one of the best analysts he’s ever worked with, which led many to wonder if Tate would take an analyst role with Fox Sports 1.<\/p>\n

She touched on the subject, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like something will come to fruition with FOX at some point, so we\u2019ll just see how that all unfolds,\u201d Tate said. \u201cI think there\u2019s going to be a lot of things that I have to look forward to. I\u2019ve got to kind of sit down and talk to my management and see exactly what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
