UFC Fight Night: Miesha Tate’s face left shockingly swollen from Lauren Murphy loss

Miesha Tate’s face was left swollen and bruised following her defeat to Lauren Murphy at UFC Fight Night in New York.

Tate was making her debut in the flyweight division, having previously competed as a bantamweight.

Despite an impressive body transformation, the 35-year-old was unable to triumph in her new division.

Murphy, third in the flyweight rankings, landed numerous early punches. She was too much to handle over three rounds, leaving Tate’s face bloodied and swollen.

As a result, Murphy triumphed by unanimous decision.

Fans are now doubtful about Tate’s decision to drop down to flyweight, which she explained to The MMA Hour in February.

What heart, what a fight
