Ronda Rousey broke down barriers during her legendary 12-2 run in MMA.
‘Rowdy’ left a legacy that means she is still regarded as one of the best female fighters in UFC history.
In July 2014, Ronda Rousey scored an epic 16-second KO that left her dazed and confused opponent, Alexis Davis, trying to fight the referee at the end of their bantamweight title fight.
The 38-year-old somehow managed to score an even quicker finish in her next fight.
Revisiting Ronda Rousey’s quickest UFC win
Ronda Rousey squared off against Cat Zingano in the main event of UFC 184 in February 2015.
As a 9-0 contender with a win over Amanda Nunes, some thought Zingano could cause an upset.
Rousey made it look like a mismatch as she tossed her latest victim to the floor in the first few seconds of their fight.
Just 14 seconds was all it took for Zingano to tap out after getting caught in Rousey’s signature armbar submission.
Andrei Arlovski set the UFC record for the fastest title fight finish when he knocked out Paul Buentello in 15 seconds at UFC 55 in 2005.
A decade later, Rousey’s slightly quicker win saw her take that honor from Arlovski.
Conor McGregor broke Ronda Rousey’s record with KO
Less than 10 months later, Conor McGregor ended Ronda Rousey’s short reign as the UFC record holder for fastest title fight win.
‘Notorious’ squared off against Jose Aldo in a featherweight unification fight at UFC 194 in December.
McGregor KO’d Aldo with one shot in a 13-second victory that made him the biggest star in the sport.
It’s been almost a decade since that famous fight and McGregor’s feat has not been beaten.
Only time will tell if we’ll ever see someone outdo McGregor or Rousey in a UFC title fight.
