After a one-fight stint at 125 pounds, Miesha Tate will return to bantamweight for her next Octagon appearance.
The former 135-pound champion will lock horns with Mayra Bueno Silva at a UFC event on June 3. The bout was initially reported by MMAFighting.com. The card does not yet have a location or headliner.
Tate made her flyweight debut at UFC on ABC 3, where she dropped a unanimous decision to Lauren Murphy. “Cupcake” is 1-2 since ending a nearly five-year retirement in 2021. She has lost four of her last five UFC appearances overall.
Silva, meanwhile, has been building momentum since moving to bantamweight. The 31-year-old Brazilian is 3-0 in the weight class, with victories over Lina Lansberg, Stephanie Egger and Yanan Wu to her credit.
