Rousey Vs Carano, Netflix MMA: Ronda Rousey Flattens Gina Carano In 17 Seconds With Armbar
Ronda Rousey made a dominant MMA return, submitting Gina Carano via armbar in just 17 seconds at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles before retiring again inside the cage. Rousey immediately took Carano down and finished the long-awaited comeback bout with trademark grappling, moving to 13-2 with her 10th submission win. Carano, back after a long break since 2009, had no answer to the quick finish in a fight that barely got started. The card also saw Francis Ngannou score a first-round knockout of Philipe Lins, while Nate Diaz’s fight with Mike Perry ended after Diaz took heavy damage and was pulled from the contest.
