Miesha Tate lost to Cat Zingano by third-round TKO at The Ultimate Fighter Finale 17 on Saturday and complained afterwards that the fight was stopped too early and that she was struck by an illegal knee.
Tate was in control most of the first two rounds of the fight. She repeatedly sought submissions in the second round — either by heel hook or armbar — but was unable to land either one. In the third round, Zingano came out and immediately got a takedown, and then dominated from top position. She nailed Tate with blow after blow to the face and body.
Halfway through the round, after receiving several blows to her face and nose, Tate fought to stand up. Just as she was standing up, Zingano nailed her with a knee that dropped her back to the ground. Tate fought to get back up again, but Zingano crushed her with three straight knees and an elbow to the head that forced the referee to stop the fight.
Tate may have felt the stoppage was too early, but I don’t. She was hardly able to defend herself and she was getting pummeled. I thought it was a good stoppage. As for the potentially illegal knee, that’s a more legitimate point.
Under the “Fouls” section of the UFC’s rules, it states that you are not allowed to Knee the head of a grounded opponent.
One could argue that Tate’s finger tips were touching the canvas at the time she was kneed, which would make the knee illegal. If it was illegal, it was by the slightest margin. I thought the rulings were fine.

I call BULLSHIT! I thought it looked good when I was watching it and this video proves it beyond a doubt.

the knee was legal. i paid attention as i was watching live and then on replay. there was no foul. zingano just outlasted and outmuscled miesha. tate clearly is more skilled fighter but is not juicing enough

Yeah I thought it might've been illegal at first, but as soon as I saw the replay I could see that it was clean.
Tate's lucky she has such an amazing body, because I find her constant bitching hard to put up with.

Yeah I'm with ya. She's got a big nose, but I don't think she's ugly in the slightest.
