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.?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.

What went down in the eighth week of college soccer? The aim each week is to bring you five stories that defined the or help navigate the long road to San Jose, California, named this week as the replacement site of the College Cup.USC, Stanford and the weight of historyIf there was lingering doubt as to No. 7 USCs place in the national picture, consider it shed after Thursdays 3-0 win over No. 1 Stanford. Nine years after USC won the Pac-12s first national title, it recorded the programs first win against a top-ranked team. All the pieces are in place. With two goals against the Cardinal, Morgan Andrews now has 19 in 29 career games since arriving in Los Angeles from Notre Dame. And since conceding three goals in a season-opening loss to Santa Clara, USC has allowed just four in 12 games.But does the outcome cast doubt on Stanfords title hopes? The logical answer, and likely the best one considering the Cardinal played without starting goalkeeper and recent U.S. call-up Jane Campbell because of a prior red card, is that one result is no reason to worry. After a 3-2 overtime win at No. 10 UCLA on Sunday, and with the College Cup now in its backyard, Stanford still looks as good a bet to lift the trophy as any team.Except that if the Cardinal win it all, the loss at USC would make Stanford unique among champions.Look over the past 20 Division I championship seasons, a sample size of more than 500 games. There are just four instances in which the team that went on to win the title lost a game by more than one goal during its championship season (the last eventual champion to lose a game by even two goals was Notre Dame in 2010). None of those teams ever lost by as many as three goals and only one even conceded as many as three goals in a non-overtime loss. Can a champion lose like this? Sure, but it hasnt happened yet.Cals agony and ecstasyIt was a good week for USC. But No. 14 Cal made sure it wasnt a perfect week. And in the process, Cal turned its own slightly bitter beginning into a far more satisfying conclusion.Less than a minute from a win against UCLA on Thursday, Cal had to settle for 1-1 draw after a (very) late equalizer. The Bears, winners against the Bruins a season ago by a mind-blowing 7-0 score, would have registered back-to-back wins in the series for the first time ever. It also would have been the best resume win this season for the Bears in pursuit of postseason seeding.Fortunately, they only had to wait a couple of days to make up for the last part. This time it was Cal swiping the points when Abigail Kims goal in the 86th minute secured a 1-0 win against USC.Meanwhile, atop the Pac-12 ...For all the weeks jockeying between the Los Angeles and Bay Area schools, the Pac-12 lead is safe and secure several hundred miles away in Boulder, Colorado. After comfortable wins over Oregon and Oregon State, Colorado has taken all 15 possible points from its first five conference games.That leaves us in the curious position of seeing the leader of one of tthe two best conferences in the country unranked as the middle of October approaches.dddddddddddd.Colorado lost three of its first five games this season and has games remaining against teams that are a combined 20-7-3 in the league at the moment, so its fair enough for voters to maintain some skepticism.Still, whats happening in Boulder is impressive. Paced by transfers Danica Evans, who had a goal and two assists against Oregon State on Sunday, and Emily Bruder, who had a goal and an assist for the week, Colorado has proved a welcoming place for half a dozen players who began their college careers elsewhere.The master of the winThere was a lot of evidence this past week that it is hard to win in the ACC and harder still to win consistently. No. 20 Notre Dame earned a good win over No. 12 Clemson on Thursday. The reward? A 1-0 loss to No. 8 Virginia on Sunday. Boston College stunned No. 2 Florida State on Thursday and got to enjoy it for all of about a day before a 3-2 loss to Virginia Tech on Sunday. Speaking of the Seminoles, a draw at Syracuse on Sunday that was arguably more surprising than their Boston College loss means they went without a win in a week in which they played at least twice for just the second time in five years.Its a grind in the ACC.All of which is one more reason to marvel at 800 wins, the milestone North Carolinas Anson Dorrance reached with victories by his team over Miami and Wake Forest. The ACC is what it is, in part, because schools spent so many years trying to catch up to the Tar Heels. And while coaching milestones come and go, the context makes it different here. Dorrance reached 800 wins before any other coach reached 600 wins. Or there is this. Add up the wins for the coaches with the eighth and ninth most in Division I history and its still fewer than Dorrance.Daytons Alexis Kiehl goes for fourGoals are fickle creatures. Do all you can to make a field fertile for them and they may fail you all the same, as Dayton experienced in a 1-0 loss to VCU on Sunday. The Flyers outshot their opponent 19-5 and put 11 of those shots on frame, all to no avail.So when a player reaps a harvest like Daytons Alexis Kiehl did in scoring four successive goals at Davidson earlier in the week, its worth pausing to acknowledge the feat. After scoring twice in the first half, Kiehl scored two more goals in the span of a minute early in the second half, singlehandedly staking her team to a 4-0 lead in what turned out to be a 5-0 win.Daytons official record book doesnt include individual single-game marks, but with seven instances in which the team scored double-digit goals in a game, it is conceivable someone once scored five or more. A member of the sports information department suggested it might have been the first four-goal outburst since Missy Gregg around the turn of the century. That would be good company to keep. ' ' '
