Ronda Rousey is happy to ride off into the sunset after what she considers a fairytale ending to her career.
Rousey took on fellow veteran Gina Carano in the main event of MVP's first MMA card on Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. “Rowdy” took 17 seconds to make Carano tap with her signature armbar. Rousey subsequently confirmed that she is hanging up her gloves for good.
“There’s no way I could have ended it better than this,” Rousey said in her post-fight interview. “I want to have some more babies, and I gotta get cooking.”
Rousey (12-2) went on a murderous streak in Strikeforce and later the UFC, securing nine submissions via armbar. Rousey’s UFC bantamweight title reign ended with a knockout loss against Holly Holm in 2015. Rousey exited the UFC after a first-round knockout loss in a failed title bid against Amanda Nunes in 2016. Rousey later went on to ply her trade in the WWE. The Olympic bronze medallist judoka claims she was even in discussions for a return to the UFC before their partnership with Paramount+ and the end of the pay-per-view era. Rousey severely criticized the UFC in the lead-up to her MVP clash against Carano.
