A former UFC women’s bantamweight champ returns Saturday, but she’ll be in a new weight class.
Miesha Tate (19-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC), who beat Holly Holm to win the bantamweight title in 2016, is taking a run at flyweight now that she’s two fights into her comeback after a retirement of more than four years. At UFC on ABC 3, she’ll take on Lauren Murphy (15-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) to open the main card in Elmont, N.Y., on Long Island.
Ahead of her return, it’s a good time to take a look back at what the UFC deems the greatest knockouts in women’s bantamweight history. Tate is in the top 10, but unfortunately for her it was a fight in which she was on the losing end.
We do get to see plenty of the division’s all-time greats, though, including plenty of Ronda Rousey, Amanda Nunes, Holm and Cat Zingano. And the crazy thing is, we get to see all of them on both the winning and losing ends of the spectrum.
Check out the UFC’s top 10 below, followed by the full highlights video.
