When Miesha Tate's ex-boyfriend Bryan Caraway was accused of theft
Miesha Tate's ex-boyfriend Bryan Caraway was accused of stealing Tate's ATV in 2018. The former UFC bantamweight also reportedly tried to commit insurance fraud with Tate's vehicle.
According to Benton County court records obtained by ESPN, Bryan Caraway was charged with fraud, first-degree attempted theft, filing a false insurance statement, and making a false statement on a vehicle title.
According to the ESPN report, Caraway allegedly bought an insurance policy on Miesha Tate's ATV three days after 'Cupcake' had taken her vehicle back from him. He then filed a false claim three days later, claiming the ATV was stolen.
When Benton County's insurance commissioner looked into the matter, they found evidence that suggested Bryan Caraway had forged the title and the 2015 Polaris RZR ATV was in possession of Tate, who was its rightful owner.
In February 2021, Caraway was placed on insurance commissioner Mike Kreidler's insurance fraud most-wanted list after 'Kid Lightning' failed to appear in Benton County Superior court. However, after the prosecutor's intervention, Caraway's name was removed from the list.
Bryan Caraway was last seen in a pro-MMA setting in 2019. He faced Raja Shippen at Battlefield FC 2 and won the bout via unanimous decision.
Miesha Tate has started a new life with husband and two children
After Miesha Tate's relationship with Bryan Caraway ended, she tied the knot with fellow MMA fighter Johnny Nunez. He competes under the ONE Championship banner where Tate was the vice president after retiring from competitive MMA. His most recent fight was a first-round submission loss to Garry Tonon at One Championship: One on Prime Video 6 in January 2023.
Tate and Nunez have two children together. Their first child, a daughter named Amaia Nevaeh Nunez was born in June 2018. They welcomed their second child, a son named Daxton Wylder in June 2020.
After five years in retirement, Miesha Tate returned to fight in the UFC in 2021. She holds a 1-2 record in her second tenure with the organization. On December 2, 2023, Tate will fight Julia Avila in the featured Prelim bout of the UFC Austin card.
The event will take place at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas and the lightweight showdown between Beneil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan will serve as the main event.
