Ronda Rousey Beats Cat Zingano Via Record-Tying 14-Second Submission
Ronda Rousey needed all of 14 seconds to defend her UFC women's bantamweight title and defeat Cat Zingano at UFC 184. Almost immediately after the opening bell rang, Rousey saw an opening and locked in her armbar. From there, Zingano had no choice but to tap.
The result tied the UFC record for quickest submission:
Perhaps even more impressive was the fact that Rousey admitted the armbar was completely improvised in the middle of the Octagon, per MMA Fighting:
MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani noted how quickly the 28-year-old won her last three fights:
There is no other athlete in the world like Rousey right now. Nobody is as guaranteed to deliver as the women's bantamweight champion.
She's a force of nature, and it's hard to see who could possibly stop her. And when you think she doesn't have any surprises left, she taps out the No. 1 contender in 14 seconds.
