UFC's 10 Most Dramatic Fight Finishes

7. Ronda Rousey Vs. Amanda Nunes

An era of insurmountable dominance coming crashing to an abrupt end more than qualifies for a list dedicated to dramatic fight finishes.

Alas, that is where we found ourselves on New Years Eve 2016, when Ronda Rousey challenged Bantamweight Champion, Amanda Nunes, in an attempt to reignite a career that had hit a debilitating stumbling block a year earlier.

Fans around the world wanted to believe in their heart of hearts that Rousey could rediscover her mojo and establish herself again as the division's top woman. With the build up to the fight being centred around The Baddest Woman on the Planet's quest for redemption and taking new precautions to assure a victorious return to the Octagon, all roads surely led to a Rousey return to form.

Yet, it wasn't to be and the moment that Nunes crushed Rousey's hopes of a comeback at UFC 207 - after just 47 seconds - jolted the live crowd into an eruption that has been difficult to replicate ever since.

The fall of one of UFC's brightest stars was cemented in less than a minute.
