UFC women’s bantamweight Miesha Tate did a very good thing for an injured little girl and her family over the weekend.
Here’s your feelgood moment of the Labor Day weekend. UFC women’s bantamweight Miesha Tate just happened to be on hand when a little girl broke her arm on top of a mountain. Her family would have struggled mightily to carry the injured girl down the trail, so Tate volunteered to carry her down the two-mile descent.
Both Tate and the girl’s father took to social media to describe the ordeal:
The caption says: “Such a crazy labor day weekend for our family but ended in such an amazing and beautiful way. My poor Kai broke her arm at the top of the Mary Jane Falls hike at Mt Charleston. So @mommapook and I basically had to carry her down miles ahead. To our rescue and assistance came the amazing @mieshatate the UFC fighter. She offered to help us carry her down the mountain. Such an amazing and humble person to have met. Our family cant thank you enough for all the help. You saved us easily hours of hiking and helped us get her to the hospital sooner. Thank you again #mieshatate”
Here’s Tate’s take on the situation:
Here’s the caption: “Tear jerker! Meet Kai the sweet little girl that kept me company down the mountain side, very upbeat despite her broken arm. And I just have to say this was one of the most rewarding days of my athletic career. And I also want to make a point that I have been told many times that I am “too buff” or “manly” that I should stop lifting weights, that it’s “gross” and not attractive for a woman. I am so happy I never listened to the limitations others wanted to put on me and I hope that our youth knows that don’t have to conform. That strength and beauty come from within! #BeStrong #BeCapable #BeWhatYouWant #NoRegrets #JustLove #PayItForward #GiveBack #Inspire”

Good on you, Miesha.
