Wartezimmer » Gold Coast for another year.I

In a year that already has proved to be massive for the UFC, with one major card after another, UFC 205 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York looks to be the biggest and most important of them all. In honor of such a marquee event, ESPN.com is providing dedicated previews to all 13 bouts on the card, breaking down whats at stake and projecting who will win, along with quotes and statistics for each fighter.Womens bantamweights: Miesha Tate (18-6) versus Raquel Pennington (8-5)Odds as of Nov. 4: Tate -185; Pennington +160Dana Whites thoughtsI like both of their fighting styles. Miesha is nasty. Shes tough, durable and super well-rounded. One of the most durable women Ive ever seen. Yeah, she got her nose smashed in her last fight with Amanda Nunes, but shes so tough. And this is another tough fight for her. The womens divisions right now, 115 and 135, are stacked, lot of good fights and they are very exciting.Whats at stake?Tate: Once youve tasted that life, its addictiveA few weeks after losing her title to Nunes at UFC 200, Tate flew to Kansas City to corner a friend. After the event, Tate rented a car and drove the 1,400 miles back to her home in Las Vegas, alone.As it turned out, that trip wasnt long enough for Tate. The minute she got home, she traded in the rental for her own car and continued driving -- first to Los Angeles and then up the coast to Washington.In all that time of reflection, did she ever reach a conclusion as to why she fought poorly in her first title defense? If she did, Tates keeping it to herself.I wish I could say it was one certain thing, Tate said. Sometimes you just have a bad night. I had a great camp. I trained hard. Not everything was perfect, there were a lot of difficult things going on in my personal life, but thats not the reason I lost. When the cage door closes I have one job, and I didnt execute that.Tate, 30, says her career is in a far better place than one year ago when she was publicly contemplating retirement after the UFC didnt come through with a promised title shot.Shes open to big fights and has made headlines by stating shed be open to one against a heavier Cris Cyborg Justino (and a trilogy fight against Ronda Rousey) -- but says reclaiming the title is still very much the goal. Tates climb to the top was one of the best stories of early 2016 and shed like to repeat that in 2017.During that drive, I reminded myself that I didnt get to where Im at based on one fight, Tate said. I get asked the Cyborg question and I say, Yeah, show me the money. But I want the title. Once youve tasted that life, I think its more addictive. Its one thing to wonder about it, its another to know exactly what it is.Pennington has everything to gainPennington broke into the UFC in 2013, as a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter reality series. She was the third pick of one of that seasons coaches, who just happened to be Tate.When Pennington describes Tates role on the show, she puts air quotes around the word coach. By her account, Tate was mostly hands-off as far as daily practices went.There was one major exception, however. Pennington says other members of Tates team refused to roll with her after a while, saying she went too hard. When Tate brought it up, she had a quick response.She said I needed to tone it down, and I was like, Youre not even out here. You should come roll with me and then tell me Im a bad partner, Pennington said.The two ended up working so well together, Tate flew Pennington back out to Las Vegas to help her prepare for a title fight against Rousey later that year.Pennington is now focused on her own title run, which has seen her win four of her past five fights. The only loss during that stretch came via split decision to Holly Holm, in a fight Pennington thinks she won. A win against her former coach and champion Tate would be the biggest of her career.Im not looking to put extra pressure on myself, but in reality, this is the biggest fight card in UFC history, Pennington said. Miesha has established a huge name for herself, and we have a storyline from our relationship on TUF. Theres a lot going on as far as all that, but I just see it as another stepping stone towards my goal.Im right there for a title shot, and I have everything to gain off this fight.Key statsTate: 18-6 record (5-3 UFC); 5-fight win streak snapped in loss to NunesTate: Scored takedowns in 6 of 8 UFC fights (9 total takedowns)Pennington: 8-5 record (5-2 UFC); 3-fight win streakPennington: +71 significant strike differential in UFC fights (356-285)BreakdownThe top of this female bantamweight division has featured an extreme clash of styles of late. Rousey the judoka. Holm the boxer. Tate the submission wrestler. Now, Nunes, a heavy hitter.Pennington isnt as easy to define. Shes a slick boxer with good head movement, but shell also bite down on her mouthpiece and throw when she feels she has opponents trapped near the fence. She has leaned on her wrestling enough that we definitely know its there and actually, although she classifies mostly as a striker, both of her UFC finishes have come via submission.Still, Tate figures to have a grappling advantage, especially if shes able to create scrambles with regularity. Tate has always flourished when a fight falls under a little chaos. Pennington is good at minimizing that because of her IQ and range awareness, plus a familiarity with Tates grappling ability cant hurt.Prediction:?Pennington via decision.You make the call: Adidas Stan Smith Te Koop .

Shane Hnidy joins Brian Munz for the broadcast on TSN 1290 Radio at 7pm ct. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Danny Farquhar watched Logan Forsythe complete the third out of the inning, then panicked.The Rays reliever had his wedding ring, along with his glove, knocked off his hand by Jonathan Schoops comebacker during Tampa Bays 11-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.Its one of those things, you dont plan on losing your wedding ring while youre pitching, Farquhar said. I guess Schoop hit the ball so hard where it knocked my glove off and the wedding ring.Schoop was thrown out at first after the ball deflected to second baseman Forsythe.ddddddddddddAfter poking around on the Tropicana Field turf, Farquhar was able to find his ring.It was kind of embarrassing looking for it, Farquhar said. But Im happy it was the third out. It actually shot the other direction. Glove went one way, the ring went the other.Farquhar didnt allow a run in his one inning of work. ' ' '
