As more and more fighters speak out about the UFC’s new early morning weigh-in policy, one unknown side-effect is if the UFC’s weight cutting procedures inadvertently lead to Miesha Tate’s sudden retirement.

Most recently, Uriah Hall suffered a seizure and heart attack while trying to make weight for his most recent fight against Vitor Belfort.
So when we circle this back to Miesha Tate, and see her in complete agony in this behind-the-scenes photo, it really makes you wonder.
