NEW YORK -- Rising bantamweight contender Raquel Pennington (9-5) cruised to a decision win over former champion Miesha Tate (18-7) at UFC 205 in Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Adolis Garcia .?Immediately afterward, Tate, 30, announced her retirement.Pennington outboxed Tate and controlled position on the floor and along the fence. Outside a few knees and some very limited grappling success early, Tate had trouble getting anything going. The former Strikeforce and UFC champion admitted, Its not my time anymore.Asked why she was retiring, Tate said, Because of the result. I just had a lot more to give and I couldnt pull it out of myself. Its been a long time; Ive taken a lot of punishment.I love you guys, but this is it for me.Tate enjoyed the biggest win of her career earlier this year, when she submitted Holly Holm in the final round of a UFC championship fight in March. She followed that with a disappointing, first-round submission loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 200 in July. Tate suffered a broken nose in that bout.On Saturday, she appeared to realize early she couldnt win a boxing match and consistently punched her way into the clinch. She didnt fare much better there, however, as Pennington turned her into the fence and hit her with short shots.Tate grew desperate enough to pull guard at the start of the third round. She tried to hit armbars and triangles from there, but Pennington easily worked out of them and scored with punches from the top. All three judges scored the fight for Pennington: 30-27, 30-27, 29-28.She is an idol to me and needs to keep her head up, Pennington said of Tate. Everybody talks about how Ronda [Rousey] is the face of womens MMA. I think that Miesha is right there with her.Fighting out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Pennington has quietly won her last four fights. Her last loss came via decision to Holm in February 2015; Pennington still believes she actually won that fight.Born in Washington and fighting out of Las Vegas, Tate has been one of the most popular female fighters ever. She fought former UFC and Strikeforce champion Ronda Rousey twice, in 2012 and 13, losing both times by armbar. After the second loss, Tate fought her way back to a title with four straight wins.Tate publicly contemplated retirement last year when the UFC skipped over a promised title shot in order to book a fight between then-champion Rousey and Holm. Tony Cingrani . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence. Genesis Cabrera . Varlamov made 33 saves and Ryan OReilly had a goal and scored in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Thursday night. http://www.custommlbcardinalsjersey.com/...-large-71q.html . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Taking to the field with a patchwork team following a raft of ASADA imposed bans, no-one would bet against Essendon as the 2016 AFL wooden spooners.The Bombers were a Black Cavier-esque $1.15 with some bookmakers to finish last after 12 of their senior players were rubbed out for the season back in January.Nobody had counted on there being a team as bad as Brisbane though.The Lions slumped to a club-record equalling 12th-straight loss against Greater Western Sydney at the Gabba on Sunday.That defeat leaves the Lions with just one win from 16 starts this year, the same record as supposed no-hopers Essendon.If the Bombers beat the Lions at Etihad Stadium on Sunday the pressure on coach Justin Leppitsch will reach a crescendo.A 13th straight defeat will put the Lions hierarchy under the cosh to put their ex-premiership star on the same scrapheap as club legend Michael Voss, who was axed by the Lions in 2013 when the club had eight wins on the board with three matches left in the season.If Leppittsch - who reacted angrily to reports of a player revolt last week - is feeling the pressure though, hes keeping up a good poker face. Joe Hudson. Essendon are in a similar spot to us, obviously, he said.We play their home deck, theyve been playing some pretty good footy, should be a pretty good game.We go to win every game so it doesnt really change, we dont sit around in the foetal position rocking back and forward, thinking, `wed better win this week.Thats not what we do. We go out there, set a task and try to achieve it.The Lions insist Sundays match wont decide Leppitschs fate, which will be scrutinised over his entire tenure.After just 12 wins from 60 matches as Lions head coach, the one saving grace for Leppitsch is the fact hes avoided a wooden spoon in either of his two seasons at the helm.Lose on Sunday and even that unwanted achievement looks inevitable.
