Ronda Rousey knocks out Bethe Correia in Round 1

Rousey has become one of the biggest stars in the sport of MMA as well as one of the biggest female stars in female sports. She has dominated in MMA: 11 fights, 11 wins, 11 finishes, only 1 opponent lasting into the second round. Correia is undefeated as well but has done so in unimpressive fashion against weak opposition. The fight has been sold on more of a grudge component. Correia defeated two of Rousey's friends and made a remark about Rousey committing suicide when Rousey's father took his own life. This has led to a great deal of trash talk both ways and fierce staredowns leading up to the fight. An interesting subplot is that the fight is taking place in Correia's native Brazil but many fans in Brazil have been cheering for Rousey instead.

Round 1. Rousey moves in and lands a couple punches. She lands a few uppercuts and rocks Correia by the cage. She knocks her out with a right hand.

Winner: Ronda Rousey, KO, round 1.
