Did Andrew Tate lose his fight because of dental work?

Yes of course he did.

There’s been a couple of big “Youtuber” fights lately and one of them was the recent fight of Andrew Tate vs. Chase DeMoor.

Tate lost pretty badly and it was surprising.

Yes, Tate was 10 years older at 39 yrs old (DeMoor was 29).

But still he was the profighter. Whereas DeMoor had no pro fighting experience.

So what happened?

Let’s have a look.

Who is Andrew Tate?

Andrew Tate rose to internet fame as one of the most polarizing figures on social media, building a massive following through controversial takes on masculinity, wealth, and success.

The former four-time kickboxing world champion parlayed his fighting career into a multi-million dollar online empire, selling courses on “escaping the matrix” and achieving financial freedom.

His kickboxing record was impressive—he held multiple ISKA world championships and maintained an aura of physical dominance that became central to his brand identity.

When you watch his fights in this video above (taken from 2011-14), you see a fast, agile and powerful fighter.

Someone with a killer instinct.

His fight against Chase DeMoor

When Tate announced his comeback fight against Chase DeMoor in October 2025, it seemed like a guaranteed victory lap.

The exhibition match was set up largely for entertainment—Chase DeMoor had zero professional fighting experience and came from a YouTube/social media background.

He was best known as a Misfits Boxing competitor — a crossover boxing league featuring influencers, reality stars, and athletes rather than traditional pro boxers. And he had a total of 5 fights.

On paper, this was supposed to be an easy showcase for Tate to remind everyone of his fighting prowess.

A four-time world champion versus a complete amateur?

Tate should have dominated every second of that ring time.

Tate lost badly and looked slow

Instead, Tate lost badly.

As you can see in the video above he just looked slow and amateur-ish.

Chase was just faster and just in far better biomechanical shape.

He closed the gap in years of training with his body’s natural abilities to react and deliver power

.

Tate on the otherhand looked weak, sluggish, and fundamentally compromised.

His movements lacked the explosive power and speed that defined his championship years.

It wasn’t ring rust or poor conditioning in my view as he prepped for the fight quite a bit—rather this was biomechanics at play.

The internet exploded with questions: how does a world champion lose to someone with no fighting experience?

And rightfully so as Tate often comes off quite arrogant in much of his social media posts.

It was nice to see the guy humbled.

And in a pretty embarrassing way.

Tate’s dental ‘transformation’

It is very clear that Tate did indeed go through a dental transformation.

And according to the dentist in the video below it was likely aligners. But there are others that think it could have been veneers.

I tend to agree with the video… that it was more likely aligners.

And he probably did it in 2023.

Because in March 2023 Tate was granted permission during Romanian house arrest to visit a dentist. This appointment reportedly took several hours, which is consistent with doing something like aligners or veneers.

And it is very clear that when he finished house arrest in August 2023 his teeth were already ‘fixed’.

So somewhere in mid-2023 his collapse likely started and for me that is when the clock starts ticking.

Because he would have been in collapse from that point and all his additional exercise and time in the gym would have probably accelerated that collapse to some extent.

Because his teeth were probably wanting to move back to their old positions, but he likely had a permanent retainer holding them there.

Thus handcuffing the body’s own survival mechanism to save itself by putting teeth back to positions where they would support and stabilize the skull.

Indexed splints and the magical "perfect jaw position"

Because as I wrote in the article above the teeth need to support multiple jaw positions (retrusion and protrusion) and when dentists do things like aligners they never account for this.

Thus the skull collapses in and the skeleton twists. Sapping a person of flexibility, power, endurance and speed.

Closing thoughts

Tate seems to have seen all the fun and money Jake Paul was making by fighting and so seemingly wanted to imitate him.

He probably figured he’d start with a relatively easy fight and then move onto more difficult ones. Racking up bigger bags of money as he goes.

But he was rocked on his very first fight.

It very clearly surprised him as well. It’s a fight he should have easily won.

If he’d not fallen victim to biomechanical collapse from his dental work.

His fight wasn’t lost in the ring. It was lost a few years earlier in a dentist’s chair.

And despite Tate acting like he knows everything about everything when being interviewed… he didn’t know about these simple physics ;)
