Rousey crushes Correia In 34 Seconds to defend her title at UFC 190(Pics)



34 seconds and good night. That was all the time it took for UFC star Ronda Rousey to knockout Brazilian opponent Bethe C0rreia in the highly-anticipated UFC 190 title fight.
Rousey is now another step closer to a perfect career, after claiming her sixth UFC title.

As the American ace is wont to do, she dispatched the trash-talking Correia (9-1) in the first round. But in a departure from her norm, Rousey finished her with punches, rather than her signature armbar.
It was a Rousey right that hit the lights for Correia



The women’s bantamweight title bout was the main event during Saturday’s event in Rio de Janeiro, and Rousey's first fight outside of the U.S. Packing a heavy quiver of advantages, the heavily-favorited American handed Correia her first loss in stunning fashion. Rousey moved in fast, landing several punches, and then some uppercuts, driving Correia into the cage. Then came the right.


Instead of forcing a clinch, I planned to overwhelm her striking first so she would want to clinch," Rousey said after the fight. "And that's exactly what happened."
As if Rousey's 12-0 career record wasn't impressive enough, the ferocity of her fighting lays to rest any question of why she is the UFC's biggest star. All but one of her 12 fights ended in the first round, and nine lasted less than a minute. She took down Alexis Davis in 16 seconds, and in February defeated Cat Zingano by submission in 14 seconds in addition to the 34 needed to knockout Correia.
