Why UFC winner Ronda Rousey is a real badass

It's the video you have to watch from this weekend: American mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey took down Brazilian Bethe Correia on her own turf in just 34 seconds at the Ultimate Fighting Championship's Women's Bantamweight Title Fight.

With the swift knockout, the 28-year-old defending champion maintained her dominance as the only female bantamweight champion in the UFC with a 12-0 record.

Her last fight against Cat Zingano in February also ended swiftly, thanks to Rousey's signature move, the armbar. Rousey brings her opponent to the ground and traps her arm between her legs, bending it back at the elbow. If her opponent doesn't tap out to signal defeat, the move could snap the arm ligaments. Rousey deployed it to end the match in 14 seconds, making it the fastest submission in a UFC title fight.
