Former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate has given birth to her second child: a boy named Daxton Wylder Nuñez.
Tate and fellow fighter Johnny Nuñez welcomed their son, who was born at 8 lbs and 7 oz, in a home birth, though they’d originally planned for the birth to take place in the hospital. The couple already had a daughter, Amaia Nevaeh Nuñez, who was born in 2018.
Johnny expressed his joy at becoming a father to a second child in an interview with ONE FC. “It feels great to be a father, but to bring your own son into this world is a tremendous feeling. Amaia’s delivery was a three-day-long labor, but this one came quick, and I had to think quickly. I made the decision to not call the ambulance when the baby’s head started crowning and decided to step up and prepare for the delivery… Amaia was the most excited. She already wanted to hold her little brother!”
Days ago, Tate had shared a photo of herself at 40 weeks into her pregnancy encouraging other women to express their choice in how they want to deliver their children.
