That's a really, really close round.
I think Vieira's early work might just have been enough, but Tate came back well. #UFCVegas43

Vieira corner with a good question: “Why did you try to shoot for a takedown? This was not a good idea” #UFCVegas43

That's essentially a coin flip round. Very close.
I lean Vieira 10-9

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 🤷🏾♂️

Vieira's takedown defense was at 92% prior to this fight. Tate putting that to the test right now.

I'm likely on an island here, but I have it 50-45 Vieira.
Close fight, but I have to score it round by round and in the close rounds, I leaned slightly towards Vieira due to landing the more immediately damaging strikes.

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.
