Miesha Tate Announces That She’s Pregnant With New Man’s Baby, Releases Prepared Statement

As we expected, Miesha Tate is expecting her first child, and has released a statement on the subject. Over the holiday's Miesha Tate's own mother was the first to leak potential news on a big announcement, and now she's come out on her own to announce the fantastic news. Miesha's mom stated initially, "Happy Happy news for Mied h a and Johnny. We couldn't be happier... Merry Christmas everyone!!" In a second posting, Miesha Tate's mother revealed the new couple for the first time to the word, stating "Merry Christmas Johnny and Miesha!" In a lengthy prepared statement, the former UFC bantamweight world champion, explained what the new addition to her family means to her professional fighting career. She also shared baby Tate's first public photo. Miesha famously retired after her second straight loss in the UFC. She first lost her UFC title to current champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 200, then suffered another defeat to Raquel Pennington at UFC 205. It looks like life is continuing to evolve for the former champion though, and she couldn't be happier. Taking to her face book, Miesha Tate announced the new move, with a bunch of photos showing the new happy couple, and their first baby photos. Check it out: Happy New Year everyone! 2016 & 2017 were crazy years full of transitions for me but I’m so happy where I’m at now moving into 2018. I have many things to be grateful for but one stands out in particular, you see there’s this man who has brought joy and happiness into my life in a way I’ve never known before, Johnny thank you for that.
