Last year UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey beat Sara McMann in 66 seconds. Rowdy’s next three fights were over in 64 seconds combined, the latest on Saturday night vs. Bethe Correia in 34 seconds.

She is something that happens once a generation. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan felt it Saturday night, and tweeted at 2:45 AM that he was very nearly overcome with emotion.

“It’s an honor to call your fights,” said Rogan. “It really is. You’re the best ever. You’re just a true, once-in-a-lifetime human being. And I just want to tell you, I am beyond honored to call your fights.”

•That was the first time I ever almost cried while interviewing a fighter. @RondaRousey is something insanely special.

•I woke up to a parade of tweets calling me a bitch for almost crying during the @RondaRousey interview last night. #GuiltyAsCharged
