Joe Silva’s Shoes: What’s next for UFC on FOX 16′s winners?

BAD MMA News — Sun, 26 Jul 2015 18:45:10 +0000

T.J. Dillashaw UFC on FOX 16 went down Saturday at Chicago’s United Center, and the four-fight main card featured two decisive finishes and two entertaining decisions. The UFC’s 16th network television event saw UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw (12-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) retain his belt when he defeated Renan Barao (33-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) by TKO for a second time . Dillashaw scored his second victory over Barao and erased any questions surrounding the validity of his shocking upset to take the title from the Brazilian in May 2014. In the co-main event, Miesha Tate (17-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) strengthened her case for another shot at Ronda Rousey’s 135-pound title with a mostly one-sided victory over Jessica Eye (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC).
