No longer fighting Silva
Tate won't fight Mayra Bueno Silva on June 3 at a UFC event like she was initially scheduled to, per MMA Mania.
ANALYSIS
Tate is reportedly dealing with a hand injury, resulting in a July 15 showdown between Silva and Holly Holm. Tate is coming off two straight UFC losses, but the 36 year-old fighter will have to wait to avenge her losses and get back on the winning side of the octagon.

Set to fight in early June
Tate (19-9-0) is scheduled to face Mayra Bueno Silva (10-2-1) in a bantamweight fight at the UFC's June 3 event, Damon Martin and Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com report.
ANALYSIS
Tate will return to the 135-pound division after most recently competing as a flyweight this past summer, when she lost to Lauren Murphy via unanimous decision at the UFC's July 16 event on Long Island. Since upsetting Holly Holm at UFC 196 in March 2016 to claim the bantamweight championship, Tate sports a 1-4 record.

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.

Fight rescheduled
Tate is set to take on Lauren Murphy on July 16, at UFC Fight Night in Long Island, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The fight scheduled for July 2, at UFC 276, was unable to occur as Murphy contracted COVID-19 prior to the event. The fight has been moved three times for various reasons, but Tate will finally have her chance to take on Murphy on July 16. With the fight just over a week away, Tate sits as approximately a (-160) betting favorite.
