Most people must have known about the MMA power couple Miesha Tate and Bryan Caraway prior to this.

They were a well-known MMA team.

They allegedly began dating in 2005, at the same time that they were students at Central Washington University.

Indeed, the pair lasted a long time even though they were both just beginning their careers.

Although they have accomplished a lot together, they split up later in 2017.

Miesha Tate: who is she?

Miesha, whose full name is Miesha Theresa Tate, was born on August 18, 1986.

She is a submission grappler and expert in mixed martial arts.

She apparently began working for a living in 2007, and as of right now, she was the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.

Breakup Phase

Apparently, when everything seemed to be fine, the power couple broke up in 2017.

However, even after the breakup, it was after quite a long time that Bryan opened up about the reasons, while Miesha chose to stay quiet.

According to Bryan, he believes they couldn’t handle the relationship that was eyes in public.

As they both struggled their way up, they couldn’t manage their work alongside their relationship.

Additionally, he stated that being young and exposed to the public created hinders in their journey, and they were unknown about the issues.

Indeed, at times public could be harsh with their words, and yes, they were one time titled “the most hated couple.”

In fact, with such, we can’t deny that they had their own troubles going on.

Moreover, the UFC star Ronda Rousey had also even stated that their relationship wasn’t worth it.

Back then, she had commented on their relationship and said Bryan was Tate’s “Pet” boyfriend.

Altogether, Ronda had stated her opinion that Miesha deserved more than “Douche” like Caraway.

Miesha As a Saviour

Actually, the story dates way back to 2014, when Miesha stood as a heavenly angel to save a life.

Apparently, he had taken his then-girlfriend and family on vacation to Mexico.

To illustrate, the incident happened in Cancun, in the Caribbean Sea. They had a snorkeling trip package that included lunch and a nice boat ride.

Right then, as Caraway’s mother (in her sixties) did a little swim, she had a sudden asthmatic attack.

As a matter of fact, Chris Caraway is an asthmatic woman, and she had carried her inhaler in the bathing suit.

However, the inhaler was long gone before she realized it and tried to use it.

Therewith, as she turned blue without air, the guides started trying to help her medically in vain.

Even Caraway himself and his father were all astonished to see something they didn’t have an idea about.

Round the corner, Miesha was doing all she could think of!

Indeed, she was administering CPR, attempting to get her to inhale the inhaler.

Also, the help from a helicopter would take a long time.

As a result, Miesha repeatedly used a strategy that others deemed ineffective.

She was using mouth-to-mouth breathing to move the inhaler’s contents to Chris’ lungs.

Tate’s persistent actions also enabled her to assist Chris in starting to breathe normally.

Her lifeless eyes appeared to come back to life at that moment.

She then received comprehensive care in a hospital in Mexico.

“It was like this strange high to go from that, when my mom was pretty much dead, to having her be OK. I felt so grateful for so many things as a result.” -Bryan Caraway

Charges of forgery, theft, and insurance fraud

Caraway was recently charged with forgery and first-degree attempted theft in February 2021.

He is also accused of making false statements on a car application certificate of title and filing a bogus insurance claim.

It seems to be about the 2015 Polaris RZR all-terrain vehicle, which, according to Bryan, was given to him in January 2018 over his name by his then-girlfriend Miesha.

In December 2018 he did that and acquired insurance from GEICO.

As a result, they discovered that the ownership title for the vehicle was a forgery as the investigation went on.

In actuality, the ex-girlfriend owned it and had it in her custody, as a result, Bryan later withdrew his claim.

He was accused of grand larceny and in possession of a stolen car in June 2019.

Bryan initially made an attempt to submit a claim to his insurance provider under a policy he had just purchased for his car.

He continued to claim that Miesha had given him the ATV, which he had reported as stolen in the interim.

This time, Miesha was aware that he had falsified the title and she hadn’t given him the car.

Overall, they looked into it and discovered that Bryan had fabricated Tate’s documents, title, and signature.

With the use of the camera footage, they also discover him stealing Tate’s car twice from her house.

Bryan is currently listed as one of the top five people to avoid until the hearing’s conclusion.

Furthermore, if found guilty, he might face jail time.
