Last night was the ultimate fighter finale on FX. through this event was the second women's fight in the UFC. The 2nd women's bantam weight fight was between Misha Tate and Cat Zingano, the winner of this fight fights women's bantam weight champion Ronda Rousey. Misha Tate has actually already fought Rousey during their time in strike force in March 2012.
The fight last night did not disappoint, it just seems like girls are more exciting to watch. I know it might be because they have something to prove to the audience but whatever the reasoning behind it, its exciting. These girls wanted to knock each other out, with the punching and kneeing to the face which what eventually ended the fight. Knees and a right elbow from Zingano ended the fight for Tate after referee Kim Winslow called a stop to the fight in the third round. Zingano not only won the fight, fight of the night , a title fight with Ronda, but also along with Rousey, Zingano gets to be the first woman coaches on the Ultimate Fighter Tuf 18.
It seems as though these women fighters are becoming a huge party of the UFC. Being a fan of women sports and being a strong athletic woman I love to see this. The UFC is growing bigger each event and women fighters are right along in the action. I am excited for this upcoming season of the Ultimate Fighter and to see more bad ass women in the octagon.
