Proving their first scrap wasn’t a fluke, bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw scored another finish over former champ Renan Barao Saturday night at UFC on FOX 16. Saved by the bell in round three, Barao wouldn’t survive a flurry of punches from the champ in round four.
In the night’s co-main event No. 2 ranked Miesha Tate booked herself another title shot with a unanimous decision victory over Jessica Eye. Tate will face the winner of UFC 190’s main event between women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and No. 1 contender Bethe Correia.
See how the pros reacted to all the action from UFC on FOX 16.
AND STILL
TJ gets it done within 15 min. #UFCChicago

Barao is fighting in streight lines-that’s why TJ can counter going backwards.

Looks like Barao is fighting like a guy talking to a girl he knows is out of his league. Speaking for my friends, I’d never had that problem
