Maybe Miesha Tate was enjoying herself too much as UFC female bantamweight champion.
Maybe UFC 200 was too much pressure for Tate.
Regardless, the July card turned into a crowning moment in the career of Amanda Nunes, as the Brazilian shocked MMA and finished Tate to become the new champion.
The bout was moved into the main event role for the historic card and Nunes took advantage. Later this month, she’ll try to do the same when she meets Ronda Rousey at UFC 207 in her first title defense.
