Andrew Tate Fight Highlights: Controversial Return Ends in Defeat at Misfits Mania

Andrew Tate’s Highly Anticipated Combat Sports Return

Andrew Tate returned to fighting for the first time in five years, stepping into the ring at Misfits Mania on December 20, 2025. The event, held at the Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai, marked a significant moment for the controversial social media personality. Tate vs. DeMoor took place Dec. 20 at the Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai, UAE, with thousands of fans witnessing his comeback attempt.

Key Fight Highlights and Turning Points

The bout showcased contrasting performances across its six rounds. Tate started strong. He jabbed up and down the body, keeping his distance and working to line up the right hand. However, momentum shifted dramatically as the fight progressed. In the fifth, Tate hit the deck twice, one a clear slip but another arguably a result of a huge uppercut from DeMoor that saw him fall into a clinch. The reality TV star champion proved more durable than expected.

After a decent early start, Tate faded quickly, getting beaten up by the bigger, younger champion. The fight’s quality drew criticism from observers, with DeMoor ended up beating up Tate for much of the fight and winning the decision.

Fight Result and Aftermath

Andrew Tate by majority decision (57-57, 58-56, 58-56) marked the official outcome, with Chase DeMoor successfully defending his Misfits heavyweight title. One judge scored the fight a draw, while the other two gave it to DeMoor, who scored an historic victory to defend his belt.

The defeat represents a disappointing chapter for Tate’s combat sports career. Tate (76-9-1 Kickboxing, 1-0 MMA) was returning to combat sports for the first time since scoring a TKO victory over Cosmin Lingurar in December of 2020. The fight highlights revealed rust and conditioning issues that plagued the 38-year-old throughout the contest, raising questions about potential future appearances in the ring.
