Ronda Rousey Defeats Gina Carano in Just 17 Seconds

It took Ronda Rousey a mere 17 seconds to execute a takedown and apply her signature armbar, forcing Gina Carano to submit in her one-night return to MMA.

After a decade-long hiatus, Rousey worked tirelessly to face Carano in her comeback to the octagon, an event made possible by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions. However, the bout concluded almost before it began, with Rousey taking Carano to the ground during their very first exchange.

Rousey wasted no time, transitioning from a few strikes directly into the armbar, and Carano tapped out moments later. Following the fight, Rousey paid tribute to her opponent but admitted she had no desire for the fight to last longer, adding another sub-minute victory to her Hall of Fame-worthy career.

Carano returned to MMA after a 17-year absence. While she didn't appear particularly surprised by the outcome, she expressed regret at not being able to land at least a few strikes before the finish.

Carano made headlines by revealing she had shed 45 kilograms to prepare for the fight with Rousey, following a very difficult period in her life after her dismissal from the Star Wars series "The Mandalorian" and a lawsuit against Disney, which was ultimately settled out of court.

As for the former UFC bantamweight champion, Rousey made it clear that she is done with fighting and her return was solely motivated by the desire to face Carano. Now, with this victory added to her record, Rousey is once again stepping away from combat sports.
