UFC 184‘s main event between women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and the (previously) undefeated Cat Zingano was over in a flash.
Flying knee. Whiff. Scramble. Armlock. Tapout. All in all, it took Rousey just 14 seconds to force Zingano to tap.
For Zingano, it was the worst night in her athletic career. For Rousey, it was just another Saturday.

While a win in 14 seconds may seem impressive, it is par for the course with Rousey. The current UFC and final Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champ has only left the first round once in her MMA career. Eight of her 11 fights have been finished in the opening minute.
Rousey‘s win actually broke the record for the fastest UFC title fight. The record was previously held by former heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski, who defeated Paul Buentello in 15 seconds at UFC 55. Rousey nearly broke the record once before at UFC 175 when she defeated Alexis Davis in 16 seconds (which tied Frank Shamrock’s demolition of Kevin Jackson at UFC Japan in 1997). As if that weren’t enough, the quick submission earned Rousey a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
During her post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Rousey was quick to call out boxing champ Holly Holm (who defeated Raquel Pennington by split decision in the event’s co-main event) and Bethe Correia (who has an ongoing rivalry with Rousey through the “Four Horsewomen” stable that has floundered mightily in recent years).
Unfortunately, Rousey announced at the post-fight press conference that any discussion of who’s next will come after she is finished shooting a film (though she refused to discuss what movie that might be).
