Proving their first scrap wasn't a fluke, bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw scored another finish over former champ Renan Barao Saturday night at UFC on FOX 16. Saved by the bell in round three, Barao wouldn't survive a flurry of punches from the champ in round four.

In the night's co-main event No. 2 ranked Miesha Tate booked herself another title shot with a unanimous decision victory over Jessica Eye. Tate will face the winner of UFC 190's main event between women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and No. 1 contender Bethe Correia.

See how the pros reacted to all the action from UFC on FOX 16.

AND STILL

Lol, who threw the American Flag at Barao when he walked out? I bet it was a UGer @theUG #UFCChicago — Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) July 26, 2015

Flag in the face is the new American Tradition. — Andre Fili (@TouchyFili) July 26, 2015

Barao looks like a kid who knows he has to meet the school bully in the park after school. #UFCChicago http://t.co/XZO9cBse6O — Chael Sonnen (@sonnench) July 26, 2015

I think TJ finish him — khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) July 26, 2015

Barao is fighting in streight lines-that's why TJ can counter going backwards. — Dominick Cruz (@TheDomin8r) July 26, 2015

Looks like Barao is fighting like a guy talking to a girl he knows is out of his league. Speaking for my friends, I'd never had that problem — Chael Sonnen (@sonnench) July 26, 2015

Man barao is looking tried that's not a good sign as TJ won't get tried #UFCChicago — Brad Pickett (@One_Punch) July 26, 2015

Crap, Herb. Took you long enough to get in there. #UFCChicago — The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 26, 2015

Que pena deve ter sentido o tempo parado , vamos pra próxima barão — Wanderlei Silva (@wandfc) July 26, 2015

damn that's the KO of the year @TJDillashaw is amazing — Diego Sanchez UFC (@DiegoSanchezUFC) July 26, 2015

T.J just landed 100 strikes for that finish unreal #UFCChicago should of stopped earlier — Jerome-Max Holloway (@BlessedMMA) July 26, 2015

I'm coming ..... All do respect to the champ, I know this "game" he brings! #UFCChicago @ufc — Raphael Assuncao (@RaphaAssuncao) July 26, 2015

A healthy Dominick Cruz vs TJ Dillashaw is by far the most exciting potential matchup the @UFC could make right now! — Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) July 26, 2015

Herb certainly gave Barao his chances. Barao should fight at 145lbs imo. I hope Renan is ok. Another slick performance from TJ. #UFCChicago — Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) July 26, 2015

Another beautiful performance @TJDillashaw !! Congrats brotha!!! — chad mendes (@chadmendes) July 26, 2015

T.J Dillashaw made Barao look like an amateur. Beautiful performance. Real champ. — Ruslan Magomedov (@MagomedovUFC) July 26, 2015





TATE VS. RONDA III?

Tonight, the "no shots to the back of the head rule" has been suspended. #UFCChicago — The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 26, 2015

Damm @MieshaTate with that over hand — Boom Boom (@BostonSalmon) July 26, 2015

Eye loves blocking the over hand right with her face — Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) July 26, 2015

Now this is a real fight not like that running around crap — Diego Sanchez UFC (@DiegoSanchezUFC) July 26, 2015

Damn, I don't think any of us saw Miesha knocking Eye down, def not twice. Tate looks a LOT better since her move to Vegas. Good for her! — Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) July 26, 2015

Tate is way tougher than Bryan lol — Cody Garbrandt (@Cody_Nolove) July 26, 2015

Wtf was that??? Full back mount ref wake up — Dhiego Lima (@DhLimaMMA) July 26, 2015

Yves Lavigne, that's an awful stand up. You've been refereeing too long to do something like that. #UFCChicago — Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) July 26, 2015

Come on Yves Lavigne!??! Stand up from back control?? You gotta let the fighters decide who wins. — Mike Brown (@mikebrownmma) July 26, 2015

Miesha is tough as nails, I just don't think she needs to prove it to us every fight. #UFCChicago — Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) July 26, 2015

Am I the only one who would kinda rather see Tate v Cyborg at 140 then Tate/Rousey III ? — Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) July 26, 2015

I am sorry everyone ;( congrats to Miesha . — Jessica Eye (@jessicaevileye) July 26, 2015

Well Felder should have it but who knows. Fuckin shame, man. These guys work hard just so a couple jabronies can flip a coin at the end. — Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) July 26, 2015





THE FIRE IS OUT

U know yur a bad man when u beat yur opponent up enough and just stand up and walk away — Roger Narvaez (@Silverback316) July 26, 2015
