Ronda Rousey, in a mixed martial arts (MMA) comeback bout with Gina Carano, uses her famous finishing move to win in just 17 seconds.
Rousey had not fought in almost 10 years. Ronda Rousey has stopped Gina Carano with her signature armbar just 17 seconds into the two iconic fighters' mixed martial arts comeback bout in Los Angeles.
The 39-year-old ended an almost 10-year absence from MMA when she took the cage with the 44-year-old Carano, who had not fought in 17 years. Rousey wasted no time when the door finally closed, charging and tackling Carano an instant after the opening bell rang. She quickly moved into position and applied her famous finishing move, wrenching Carano's arm as the fight was stopped.
Rousey famously won eight fights in less than a minute during her meteoric rise through MMA in the 2010s. This improbable double comeback bout united two of the most important fighters from MMA's past two decades. She first became interested in MMA because of Carano, whose athleticism and star power made her into a TV headliner when the nascent sport was still fighting for legitimacy and acceptance in the late 2000s.
Rousey left the sport after consecutive losses, while Carano moved on to an acting career after taking her first loss. After having two children and settling into post-fighting life on a farm, Rousey began to consider an MMA return last year. She immediately focused on a fight with Carano, whose thriving career as an actor abruptly ended in 2021 with a series of controversial social media posts.
Carano was happy to finally accept the comeback she had occasionally considered, saying she used her preparations to overcome multiple health problems from recent years.
