[autotag]Miesha Tate[/autotag] doesn’t get the criticism surrounding the UFC 297 co-main event.
The vacant woman’s bantamweight title was on the line Saturday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto when [autotag]Raquel Pennington[/autotag] faced [autotag]Mayra Bueno Silva[/autotag]. Pennington (16-8 MMA, 13-5 UFC) outlasted Bueno Silva (10-3-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) to become champion.
There wasn’t too much buzz surrounding their fight in the lead-up, which led to an honest admission from Bueno Silva about the matchup itself. Headliner [autotag]Sean Strickland[/autotag], who lost his middleweight title to Dricus Du Plessis, implied that he was carrying the women on the card.
Former bantamweight champion Tate had quite a bit to say when reacting to Pennington’s win, as well as Strickland’s close loss to Du Plessis.
