Miesha Tate agrees with Raquel Pennington’s corner to urge her to continue fighting in the fifth round.

One of the more notable occurrences at UFC 224 on Saturday night happened between the fourth and fifth rounds of the main event fight between Amanda Nunes and Raquel Pennington. Despite Pennington’s own statement of being “done” with the fight, her corner urged her to carry on with the final round.

This incident has garnered mixed reactions from observers. For Nunes, Pennington’s corner should have thrown in the towel and not let her take any further damage. Rocky’s TUF 18 coach Miesha Tate, on the other hand, holds the opposite belief.
