Ronda Rousey

Last night, Ronda Rousey reminded everyone why she is the undisputed UFC women’s bantamweight champion as she dispatched of Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds.

With 5 Octagon wins in 16 minutes and 40 seconds spent in the Octagon, including 4 wins in the first round, it’s obvious that Rousey likes short fights.

She explained why on the Fox Sports 1 post-fight show:

“I like the quick fights. The longer the matches are, the shorter my career will be. I like them being short because I want to do this as long as possible.”

Despite spending just 14 seconds in the Octagon on Saturday night, Rousey admitted she was exhausted after such a long training camp, and preparation leading up to the fight.

“It’s the waiting, preparation, the stress and anxiety that takes it out of you. I’m exhausted.”
