History

Historical Context

Ronda Rousey first shocked fans when she submitted Miesha Tate at UFC 168 on December 28 2013, ending the bout in 58 seconds and cementing her reputation for lightning-fast armbars and helping launch the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division. That signature finish inspired later promoters; in 2024 Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions staged a 17-second armbar over Gina Carano, directly echoing Rousey’s 2013 dominance.
