Miesha Tate is an American mixed martial artist with an estimated net worth of $3 million. Born on August 18, 1986 in Tacoma, Washington, she was always a bit of a tomboy. Growing up, she would fight boys, take part in sports that were primarily for boys at the time, and she was not afraid to get her hands dirty. She always loved being athletic, and she never had an issue with the fact that she was able to spend time doing the things she loved to do. She was a Franklin Pierce High School wrestler, choosing the sport over basketball though she loved them both and wanted to participate in both. She could only choose one, though, so this was the one she chose. She was on the boy’s team since there was no girl team.
She was out of place for the first season, with no idea what she was doing and how to handle herself on the mat, and she worked hard to correct that before she was hurt worse than she already was. She trained hard and worked to ensure she would not be beat ever again. She was finally able to compete with other girls in 2005 as a part of her state championship, and she was the overall winner in Washington. Miesha Tate was approached following her senior year in high school and asked to compete in an MMA fight in March 2006. She accepted the invitation and began training like mad. During her first match, she realized that this was nothing like wrestling; this was fighting. At that point, she began to really bring her game to the next level.
She went on to compete five more times in the MMA, winning 5 of 6 in her amateur career. That career lasted only a year before she made the decision to go pro, and that was in 2007. She wrestled successfully for almost six years in the MMA before she decided to join the UFC and fight for a more prestigious title in the world of wrestling and boxing. She likes to keep her personal life very private, though she has been dating another UFC fighter for a long time. His name is Bryan Caraway, and Miesha Tate was even credited with saving the life of his mother back in 2014 when they were scuba diving together and his mother suffered an asthma attack that left her unresponsive in the water. Mieshe Tate was able to pull her out and help her to regain consciousness, keeping her alive until medics arrived.
Out of 23 matches during her professional career, Miesha Tate has won 18. She’s lost only 5, and she’s won some significant purses as a result of her championships. She is currently one of the most talked-about UFC fighters in the ring due to her inability to lose and to her ability to really get out there and take down her opponents. She is looking to become one of the most famous fighters in the UFC, and it looks like she will have no problem with that.
