After retiring in 2016, Miesha spent five years rekindling her competitive spirit and building a family with her fiancé, Johnny Nuñez. Not one to fit into boxes, Miesha also demonstrated her fighting spirit on the CBS reality show, ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ setting a record victory on season 3.
Miesha’s commitment extends beyond the ring. As a certified Behavioral Change coach, she has a deep-seated passion for helping others achieve their goals. Currently ranked 15th in the world, Miesha looks forward to her next UFC victory on December 2nd, 2023.
