Ronda Rousey has taken the 135-pound women’s Strikeforce title on Saturday night. She has still never been extended beyond the first round.
Rousey got Miesha Tate to submit in the first round to take the title. Tate lasted longer in this fight than any of Rousey’s previous four opponents, but she might be wishing that she had submitted a little sooner.
Like her four previous professional matches, Rousey locked Tate in an armbar and forced submission. Tate was not going to give in easily, though.
And what resulted was a gruesome broken arm. Tate was not without her moments in this fight. She looked good standing and even scored a nice takedown on Rousey, but “Rowdy” turned it all with a judo hip flip.
After getting Tate to the mat with the flip, she began a ground and pound until working her way into the armbar, and that was all she wrote.
All in all, it was a very entertaining fight. It was hard-fought and well executed. In the end, Rousey was simply too well-rounded a fighter. She is the total package, and it is hard to see her losing to anyone.

If Ronda Rousey ever even glances at my arm I’m going to run…
