Ronda Rousey Defeats Gina Carano in a Remarkable 17 Seconds

It took just 17 seconds for Ronda Rousey to take down Gina Carano and apply her iconic armbar, forcing a submission in the MMA return bout. After a decade-long absence, Rousey worked tirelessly to return to the octagon and face Carano, with the event made possible by Jake Paul’s promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions.

The fight ended almost as soon as it began, with Rousey taking Carano down in the first exchange of blows. Rousey didn’t waste time, transitioning to the armbar after a few strikes, and Carano tapped out moments later. After the bout, Rousey paid respects to her opponent but admitted she had no desire for the fight to continue, adding another victory in under a minute to her illustrious career.

“There’s no way I could’ve ended it better than this. I want to make some more babies,” Rousey said. “That’s all for Ronda Rousey in MMA. Legend 🐐,” added the tweet from Netflix Sports.

“Gina is the person who got me into MMA, and she’s the only one who could get me back into MMA,” Rousey said after the victory. “She’s my hero. You changed my world, and we changed the world. I can never repay you enough. I’m glad we finally shared this moment.” “I hoped to come out as unscathed as possible because I really didn’t want to hurt her. That’s the beauty of martial arts,” she added.

Carano, who returned to MMA after a 17-year absence, expressed disappointment that she didn’t land even a few strikes before the end. “I wanted it to go longer,” Carano said. “I felt so prepared. I wanted to hit her. I’ll probably feel it later. Just getting in the octagon was a win. Fighting a legend was a win. I feel great. I just wanted a real fight, and I didn’t get it.”
