Rousey came forward quickly throwing punches. She landed, and clinched up with Correia. Correia went to her back and Rousey pounced. When Correia got back to her feet, the champion poured it on and knocked Correia out cold, dropping her face-first to the canvas with a right hand to the temple. Referee John McCarthy was in quickly to shut it down – in just 34 seconds.
It kind of went how we expected, Rousey said. I planned to, instead of trying to force a clinch, was overwhelm her with striking first to force her to clinch – and that’s exactly what happened.
I hope that nobody really brings up my family anymore when it comes to fights. I hope this is the last time.
Official Result:Ronda Rousey defeated BetheCorreia by KO (Punch, Round 1, 0:34)
