Struggles against Lauren Murphy
Tate lost to Lauren Murphy via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC on ABC 3 on Saturday on Long Island.
ANALYSIS
It's a highly concerning loss for Tate in more ways than one. Going up against a soon-to-be 39-year-old opponent who is tough as nails but offers little in terms of offensive creativity, Tate struggled almost the entire fight. She appeared hesitant and slow on the feet and wasn't able to land a single takedown. Tate has never been much of a striker, and she simply isn't going to be able to win kickboxing matches at this stage of her career. Tate turns 36 years of age in mid August. She has dropped two of three fights since returning from her 4.5 year hiatus last July, and there's little reason to expect a prolonged winning streak moving forward.

ANALYSIS

The fight had previously been rescheduled twice, and according to a later update from MMAFighting.com, the reason for the most recent cancellation was Murphy testing positive for COVID.
