Result: Rousey defeated Carmouche via submission (armbar) at 4:49 of round 1 It is unheard of in MMA to go into a fight having a near-certain idea of how the action is going to end. However, every time Ronda Rousey has been in the Octagon we have expected her to win by armbar, probably in the very first round. Rouseys Olympic level judo makes her such a vastly superior grappler to the rest of the UFCs womens bantamweight division that you expect her to use her finishing move in every one of her fights. The scary thing is that now Rondas striking ability seems to be improving at an exponential rate. The most noteworthy of Rouseys eight career submission victories was at UFC 157 in what was not only her promotional debut but also the first ever womens fight in the UFC. Many UFC fans had heard of the Olympic bronze medallists dominance in Strikeforce but hadnt seen it live. In the nights main event, Rousey put on a judo clinic, looking entirely untroubled against Liz Carmouche. With 10-seconds to spare in the round, the inaugural champion clamped on an armbar and the fight was over. With this dazzling show of technique, athleticism and dominance, Rousey won over every critic of womans MMA who had been watching (Rouseys performance was made to look particularly good by the snoozer of a co-main event, Machida Vs. Henderson)
