Meisha Tate been fighting how long and her stance and striking is Awful
— Mike “Biggie” Rhodes (@TeamRocBiggie) November 21, 2021
Shiii I might have this 3-0 Tate going into the 4th . Vieira is landing the harder shots YES. There is no grappling and Miesha is far more active and controlling the octagon ! Regardless Tate 2-1 ♂️

Nothing has been decisive in this fight so far but I have Tate up 3-1. #UFCVegas43

I’m thinking it’s 3-1 Vieira going into the 5th #UFCVegas43
— Chase Hooper (@chase_hooper) November 21, 2021
I saw the 4 rounds for Vieira, and miesha has to go to the last round to finish #UFCVegas43 @ufc

Tate’s tough tough glad she’s back

Great fight. Highly competitive the fight but I feel Vieira won that fight, no question! #UFCVegas43

Miesha is a warrior! It was a close fight but just amazed by what Miesha has done to improve and stay hungry. Better striking but lacked some footwork. Huge win for Viera who showed a lot patience and improvements as well. Both will be better from this 5 rounder.
