LAS VEGAS – Brad Tate considers himself blessed.
“I’ve always said, ‘If you find something you love, you’ll never work another day in your life, and that’s the truth,'” Tate recently told MMA Junkie on the 16th Annual Fighters Only World MMA Awards red carpet. “I don’t work. I’m having a blast. I get to hang out with my friends who have become family. You guys have celebrated me and embraced me and have let me be a goofball in the world. You laugh at me, and I love it.”
One of the most recognizable faces in the industry, Tate has worked as a cutman for 18 years. He’s built a strong bond with many fighters – and a large online following of those who like to observe his playful and comedic interactions with some of the UFC’s top talent.
