Alongside pictures of her rescuing the girl, Tate wrote on Facebook: "Today a little girl broke her arm up at the top of Mary Jane falls (Mt Charleston) and I saw her meekly built mother struggling to carry her daughter down the mountain so I offered to carry the little girl to the bottom.

The stars of UFC Hamburg record a special selfie message for the UK UFC fans

"The mother asked her 6 year old daughter 'would you rather have me or her carry you down' without hesitation (to my surprise) she quickly replied 'I want HER to carry me' we had to laugh.

"I preceded to carry the sweet little thing all the way to the bottom. Kai and I learned a lot about each other on the roughly 2 mile descent and It's fair to say she inspired me. We made it all the way down without slipping or falling! We agreed we would both be strong for each other! Team work at it's best!"
