Still buzzing a little over Saturday night’s co-main event at UFC 196?
Now you can relive some of the best moments between Miesha Tate and Holly Holm through the lens of Mark J. Rebilas from USA TODAY Sports.
In the UFC 196 co-feature, Tate (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) upset women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) to win the title. Tate, who was a Strikeforce champion before losing her belt to Ronda Rousey in 2012, choked Holm unconscious in the fifth round. Holm was more than a 3-1 favorite in the fight.
Had the fight gone to the judges, the final frame was crucial. Holm won Rounds 1, 3 and 4 from the three judges, but Tate got a 10-8 Round 2 from all three, meaning had she won Round 5, the fight would’ve ended in a 47-47 draw. But Tate rendered all that meaningless by handing Holm the first loss of her MMA career, which came in her first title defense after upsetting Ronda Rousey to win the belt this past November.
UFC 196 took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
