– Last night’s UFC 196 saw one of the most historic nights ever in mixed martial arts. One of the reasons was due to the outstanding performance by new UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate.
Tate has had a long rivalry with former champion Ronda Rousey, who was defeated by Holly Holm in November. On Fox’s UFC 196 post-show, the UFC President Dana White said Rousey won’t be back until October or November and didn’t watch the fight. When Rousey heard the news, she said it was ‘time to get back to work.’
– Nate Diaz’s huge UFC 196 payday got even bigger, as he earned $100,000 for two bonuses. Conor McGregor added $50,000 to his $1 million flat base pay for his part of Fight of the Night, and Miesha Tate $50,000 for Performance of the Night. Nate Diaz also made a $500,000 base with no win bonus for the fight.
– After McGregor’s stunning loss, his foe Jose Aldo challenged McGregor to fight at UFC 200, and trolled Conor.
See ya at #UFC200, @TheNotoriousMMA. Your fairy tale is over. You got nowhere to run now. Time to a rematch, pussy. pic.twitter.com/67fmic8qxG
