Due To The Brutal Defeat Of Lauren Murphy, UFC Fighter Miesha Tate Watches Baseball With His Left Eye Covered With A Bandage
JAKARTA - UFC fighter Miesha Tate was forced to wear a bandage to cover her eyes after suffering a horrific cut on her lower eyelid when she was defeated by Lauren Murphy.
Miesha only lasted until the third round in a brutal fight at UFC Long Island last Saturday. The jury then decided Murphy was the winner.
The duel was Miesha, 35, debut in the Flyweight division. Unfortunately, the fight didn't go according to plan as he landed fewer punches than his opponent.
The damage to his left eye was clearly visible during the fight. His face was covered in blood after receiving a terrible blow from Murphy.
The wound from the duel forced Miesha to cover her eyes with a bandage. The bandage remained on his eye while watching a baseball game between the Yankees and the Red Sox at Yankees Stadium.
Photos of her with bandages on her eyes even uploaded the former female bantamweight champion to her personal Instagram timeline which was followed by more than million people.
"At the iconic Yankee stadium! Thank you @yankees for your hospitality!" he wrote to accompany the post.
The post immediately received a response from his followers. The majority gave their support and wished Miesha the best.
"Get well soon!!!" someone wrote.
"Supported you champ! Get better, and come back soon. We'll be waiting! #teammate." said another.
Miesha was estimated to have a net worth of nearly £5 million earlier this year.
He was crowned the champion of Big Brother USA earlier this year. Meanwhile, the defeat against Murphy made Miesha have a fighting record of 19 wins and nine defeats.
