Yup UFC trying so hard to sell on the Tate 2.0. Unfortunately for them anybody who watched the fight saw what was happening in the cage.

Yes I was disappointed with Cormier's obviously biased commentary again, basically talking up Tate, as that is basically the script UFC handed to him. Cormier is NOT independent enough in his commentary to simply call the fight AS IT IS in a completely unbiased way. And I do like the guy and what he has done.
UFC were trying to add in some spice to the 135lbs division and endlessly promote the return of a former (very brief!) Champ. It didn't work, she's just like she always was, she has not progressed at all, despite all her talk and self-PR. Rousey got the same push back in the day, so did Maycee Barber (but she's no good either really) and I just wish the UFC would allow the best to rise to the top without this endless biased marketing campaign for certain fighters that they cherry-pick.
I bet Miesha looks like she got hit by a truck this morning.
- Let this be a lesson to her to let her performance do the talking, not her mouth. She performed averagely, slowly, nothing new, crap striking, ineffective takedowns.
I hope she retires again, she is washed-up and has nothing new for this division.
