Miesha Tate recently made a comeback to the UFC after being retired for five years. She came back to beat Marion Reneau at UFC on ESPN 26, winning the fight by TKO in the third.

She was set to fight Ketlen Viera on October 16 but the fight had to be pushed back after Miesha Tate contracted COVID. Now they're set to meet in the main event of UFC Vegas 43.

Miesha Tate spoke to MMA Mania‘s Shakiel Mahjouri about her complications with COVID-19. She ended up losing two weeks of her training camp as a result.

“It’s still clearing out of my lungs just a little bit, like when I wake up in the morning,” Miesha Tate says of her COVID recovery. “You can hear it a little bit, probably, in my sinuses still. I still have a little bit of a cough, but it’s getting better every day. I had a really tough strength and conditioning workout today and I feel like I crushed it, so the limitations are getting much less. I think it’s just a matter of continuing to work through it and progress. Hopefully, this will get rescheduled before too long. Essentially, it cost me two weeks of camp. I was pretty sick. Nothing alarming. A little bit of a fever. I had a pretty severe cough. I had sinus congestion. I wasn’t sleeping well at night. Taste and smell got weird, it was kind of muted. But the next week my kids were sick. So I couldn’t get really even get to the gym to train, I couldn't hire a sitter, I couldn’t have anybody come here, I couldn’t take them out, I couldn’t take them with me.

“So it’s like two weeks, and even that week was pretty rough as far as trying to get my body back into the swing of things,” Miesha Tate continued. “That definitely was nowhere near 100 percent. I tried really hard to talk myself into keeping the fight on Oct. 16, but the reality was I just wasn’t going to be on par to be at that 100 percent mark and I have to be. That was the choice to delay.”

Now it appears everything is back on track and Miesha Tate will be fighting on November 20. The bout against Ketlen Viera is the main event and more fights are expected to be announced.
