Today in Macao China UFC President Dana White and women’s champion Ronda Rousey held a Q&A for fans. Not sure what question prompted this response, but Ronda told an interesting story about a bet she had going with her coach:

“A funny thing about that. After I beat McMann in 1:06, my coach and I had a bet. He was like, ‘No one is ever going to beat a minute and six second knockout in women’s (MMA).’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, somebody is.’ I told him somebody will beat it and then we had a bet going for a couple thousand dollars. Then I beat it. No, wait, I said that nobody could beat it, that was it. So I ended up beating it myself and I didn’t know that I counted. So I actually owe my coach like five grand right now. I don’t know if I would make that bet again, but yeah, you know what, I’ll say it again. No one will ever beat 16 seconds, including myself. If I do, or somebody else does, then I owe my coach another five grand.”
