In the eyes of Raquel Pennington, there’s no question that her coaches made the right call by convincing her not to quit between rounds at UFC 224.
Pennington suffered a fifth-round TKO defeat to women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes on Saturday night at UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, much of the conversation after the fight has centered on a polarizing interaction between Pennington and her head coach and cornerman Jason Kutz, in which Pennington told Kutz between the fourth and fifth round, “I’m done, I want to be done,” only to be sent back out to face Nunes.
