Bryan Caraway has been out of the spotlight for several years. The ex-boyfriend of former UFC champion Miesha Tate, though, is now in the headlines – but in a bad, bad way.
According to a report by MMA Fighting, Caraway is currently on the state of Washington most wanted list. In a release, Caraway is cited with failing to appear for a Pre-Trial Conference after being charged with Forgery, False Statement on Vehicle Application Certificate of Title, False Claim or Proof in excess of $1,500 and Attempted Theft 1.

Back in 2021, Caraway was charged with allegedly stealing an ATV from his ex-girlfriend Tate. He followed that up by filing a fraudulent insurance claim over the stolen vehicle.
In a statement released at that time, “According to the investigation, Caraway reported the theft of a 2015 Polaris RZR all-terrain vehicle from his property in Richland in December 2018. He bought a policy for it from GEICO on Dec. 21 and filed the claim on Dec. 24.
“(Caraway) told GEICO that he bought the vehicle and contents, including helmets, a battery charger, and spare tire, for $18,500 and provided a title showing his ex-girlfriend gifted it to him in January 2018.”
There was evidence that Caraway “forged the title and that the vehicle was not in fact stolen but was owned by an in possession of” Tate. The claim was withdrawn. The 40-year-old former contender faces potential jail time and fines if convicted.
Caraway last fought for the UFC in 2018, losing to Pedro Munhoz. After that, he competed just one, earning a win for Battlefield FC a year later.
