Family thanks Tate for rescuing 6-year-old daughter on hike
Miesha Tate's karma game is the stuff of envy.
The former UFC women's bantamweight champion helped an injured a 6-year-old girl while hiking near Las Vegas on Sunday. The child, named Kai, broke her arm atop the Mary Jane Falls hiking trail, and Tate offered to carry her for the 2.6-mile descent so her parents could get Kai to a hospital faster.
Kai's parents recounted the incident and ensuing rescue on Instagram. The child also expressed her gratitude in a video the fighter posted on her own account Monday morning:
Tate has played guardian angel once before. She successfully performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on boyfriend and fellow UFC fighter Bryan Caraway's mother, who's severely asthmatic, on a 2014 snorkeling trip in Mexico.
