Miesha Tate proved the bookies right when she walked out of the octagon with her hands raised after her bout with Jessica “Evil” Eye. Tate put on a fantastic performance, but Eye let her hands fly and connected several times. Both women could have dropped each other at any given point, but neither gave up and kept pressing forward.
Check out what the fighters had to say about their war and the bizarre standup!
Now this is a real fight not like that running around crap

Damn, I don't think any of us saw Miesha knocking Eye down, def not twice. Tate looks a LOT better since her move to Vegas. Good for her!

Eye is leaving her chin way too high at the end of her combos. Meisha’s new strength training program paying dividends

Yves Lavigne, that's an awful stand up. You've been refereeing too long to do something like that. #UFCChicago
