R1 10-9 Murphy. Not a lot of strikes but she landed more effectively. #UFCLongIsland

I have it 10-9 Murphy in a very competitive round and a tough one to score.
I thought that she landed the cleaner strikes.

Tate's moving in slow motion out there. #UFCLongIsland

Tate has 0 head movement. Toughnesses is still Tates best attribute.

Meisha doesn't seem to be looking like her usual self in this fight.. maybe the difference in this new weight class, Murphy is looking very good though… #UFCLongIsland

Tate can’t win consistently at this level in 2022 with this little attention to head movement and defense. #UFConABC3

For Lauren being the older of the two fighters, she has retained her youthful quickness more than Meisha is seems. #UFCLongIsland

A non-technical analysis of Tate/Murphy: Lauren is fighting, Miesha is sparring. Our guy @cody_merrow has been all over this one with confidence.

This fight is another example about how MMA stats do not always give a true story on how the fight went…
Miesha Tate landed 111 strikes, 110 for Murphy…
30-27 Murphy
