UFC on Fox 16 Video Highlights: Dillashaw Smashes Barao, Tate Outclasses Eye

Nathan McCarterJul 25, 2015

The two main events for UFC on Fox 16 delivered in a big way on Saturday.

TJ Dillashaw continued his dominance over Renan Barao in the main event. He only got hit when he dropped his hands to play with Barao, but other than that he completely schooled the former champion. Dillashaw made sure everyone knew their first fight was not a fluke and that he is the No. 1 fighter in the bantamweight division.

Dillashaw's movement is marvelous, and his striking has improved dramatically since his time on The Ultimate Fighter.

A future date with Dominick Cruz appears to be his only hurdle in this division, but a rematch with Raphael Assuncao may also be on the table. Regardless, the present should be about reveling in this phenomenal performance.

Dillashaw connected on more than 100 significant strikes for the fourth consecutive fight, and that earned him a $50,000 performance bonus.

The 135-pound title eliminator in the women's division provided plenty of excitement in the co-main event. Miesha Tate got off to a slow start against Jessica Eye but changed the tide when she dropped the former top-ranked flyweight. After that, she ran the fight.

Tate was clearly the bigger, stronger fighter in the cage. Her punching power has improved greatly, and she got to showcase that against Eye. The Ohioan was supposed to be the better striker, and technically she may be. However, power is the great equalizer. Tate bit down on her mouthpiece and connected with the more damaging shots.

Now, she will get the winner of Ronda Rousey vs. Bethe Correia, who square off on August 1 at UFC 190. It may be a foregone conclusion that we get the trilogy fight between the two heated rivals.

Enjoy the fight highlights of these two impressive performances at UFC on Fox 16.
