’16 months ago I was birthing my second child’: Miesha Tate happy with striking evolvement in UFC Fight Night 198 loss

BAD MMA News — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 20:07:56 +0000

Despite losing at UFC Fight Night 198, Miesha Tate proved she’s still in great shape. Less than a year ago, Tate (19-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC) became a mom for the second time and she decided to come out of retirement shortly after. A “Performance of the Night” finish of Marion Reneau in July set her up with a pivotal clash with Ketlen Vieira this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 198, but Tate was ultimately outlasted . Tate wasn’t instilling her usual heavy-grapple approach, standing and trading with Vieira for the most part. A bloody Tate never stopped pushing forward and although she wasn’t able to outpoint Vieira, she was happy with the improvements shown in her striking game.

Pent-up emotions hit Adrian Yanez ‘like a ton of bricks’ after UFC Fight Night 198

BAD MMA News — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 17:14:26 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Adrian Yanez has been through a lot outside the cage in recent years. In early 2016, Yanez (15-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) lost his father, his biggest supporter, who died after a battle with cancer . In August 2021, legendary Metro Fight Club head coach Saul Soliz, Yanez’s MMA mentor, died from COVID-19 . When Yanez stepped into the cage Saturday at UFC Fight Night 198 , it was the first time in his promotional tenure Soliz was not in his corner. Yanez entered his fight against Davey Grant with the mentality that he’d mourn afterward, so when the final bell rang, the emotional floodgates opened. “It was just one of those moments where it kind of hit me like a ton of bricks,” Yanez told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at the UFC Fight Night 198 post-fight news conference.
