OT - Ronda Rousey wins UFC 184 Title Fight in 14 Seconds
I barely watch UFC at all, but this seems very impressive. Ronda Rousey beat previously undefeated Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds to win UFC 184.
Apparently it's the fastest ever submission in a UFC TItle Fight.
Her last three fights have lasted less than 2 minutes...combined.
I think I want her on my team when the zombie apocalypse comes.

Yeah. Doesn't look like it was posted, though.
I figure that an impressive accomplishment like this deserves a post.
I figured that nobody posted about it because other than a few people, nobody really gave a shit. Hence the post 2 days later.
Impressive how in control she was amidst the chaos of the 14 seconds.

That's what... I said :/
She may be the most compelling fighter in any style, male or female right now. I know Mayweather vs Pacquiao is going to make each fighter a gazillion dollars, but it's a fight that should have happened five years ago.
The card, co-headlined by two women's fights including Rousey's, drew a reported 17,654 and the gate was reported at $2,675,000. Rousey may be the best thing MMA has going right now.
If somebody is super bored and would like to figure out the purse/losers cut, I would love to know the hourly rate these fighters got paid.

I'll take 2 mil for a few months of work.
This is obviously understood. But the question was for the "fun" of it. Similar to the amount of money ARod gets per at bat. Just a fun stat, I do recognize that there might be a little training when it comes to preparing for a mixed martial arts fight.
Thanks to those who took a stab
do the math, about $7142/second.
Now, Rousey made a publicly reported $65K, plus $65K for winning, plus $50K for the "submission of the night" bonus. Those numbes may be like, "what, her base was lower than Zingano's, really????" But all those are just what was publicly reported. There's no doubt Rousey also made a cut of all PPV sales, that was no doubt some 6-figure amount of $, but that's not publicly reported.

Are the person I was looking for! Haha.. Thanks.
How amazing that a woman could twist another woman's arm and have her give up in a few seconds.

She did say she has as much sex as possible leading up to a fight.
Usually it is men that have the "no sex" superstition because they feel it makes them less aggressive. I suspect the whole dynamic is different in women.
This is correct. It's about the testosterone balance. Decreases in men, increases in women after sex.

Still can't figure out why the fight was stopped. Did the other fighter tap out?
P.S. Call me old fashioned but I still think this MMA shit is another symptom of the final push to civilizational decline.
P.P.S. I don't even like watching bar fights.
Yes, Zingano tapped. Not super clear in the gif but you can see it.
Look at her right elbow. It was about to snap in half so she tapped.
Civilization decline? Fighting is one of the oldest sports in human history lol. Ever hear of what the Romans or Mayans did for sport?
I was with my gf's brother's house on Saturday night and we almost ordered the fight but we decided against it thinking it might end like it did. If she continues to steamroll through her competition it will be interesting to see if she can continue to headline the card.
Ah, that makes sense. We probably would have ponied up the money if Weidman was fighting as well. That guy is an animal.
The one getting her arm torn off lost.
The one whose arm isn't bent in a manner that causes excruciating pain?
Hold my beer
Coilette from Robonia wins again.
I would pay to see her fight Ron Artest. Otherwise this is boring like a male beauty pageant.
I beat a dude in less than 10 seconds back when I used to wrestle. I don't think I'd ever felt worse than when they told me afterwards that he had Down's... Totally ruined my day.
I'd upvote that if I could.
Zingano fucked this fight up so badly that it made me angry watching it. Luckily I was just streaming it and didn't pay for PPV. I feel bad for those who did LOL.
Zingano completely whiffed on the knee and it was a wrap from there on. Rousey is a judoka so even if she was taken down first she would adapt b/c of her newaza skills.
Rousey and Cyborg would be one hell of a fight if Cyborg can get down to the 135 lb limit for bantamweight women.
