Miesha Tate Went Into Labor For 67 Hours, Gives Birth To A Baby Girl

Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate can now add the title of “mother” to her list of achievements because the retired UFC star has given birth to a baby girl, Amaia Navaeh Nunez.

A friend of Tate’s would post the following on Instagram, saying the former UFC fighter was in labor for 67 hours before finally giving birth:

 

Around midnight last night, I texted @mieshatate and told her that she had 24 hours to produce my birthday twin. And she did. Best birthday present ever! — . I’m so proud of my incredible friend. After 67 hours of labor, she gave birth to a perfect, tiny human. I am so proud of her, to be able to call her one of my best friends, and to share a birthday with this little piece of magic named Amaia. So many congratulations to @mieshatate and @johnnyboymma ! . Thank you for the messages and texts. It’s been an especially taxing week for me, but somehow you all made it better. — . This special occasion was too good to keep to myself, but it’s back to radio silence for me. —-
