Raquel Pennington 'Proud' of Coaches After Controversy

After a controversial TKO loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 224 last weekend, UFC bantamweight Raquel Pennington is standing by her coaches.

On Saturday, Pennington told her team she was "done" after losing the first four rounds of the title fight and apparently breaking her nose.

However, one of her coaches, who has been identified as Jason Kutz by media outlets, told her to "throw everything we got" and "change your mindset." Pennington obliged but just two minutes later lost via TKO in the final round.

While appearing on "The MMA Hour" on Monday, Pennington, 29, said she is "proud" of her coaches.
