UFC 184 will go down as the night Ronda Rousey broke the record for the fastest finish in the history of title fights taking place inside the Octagon.
Rousey submitted Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds which puts her one second ahead of Andrei Arlovski who knocked out Paul Buentello in 15 seconds in a heavyweight title fight at UFC 55 in 2005.
But in addition to Rousey's dominance in the cage she also continues to reign supreme in her walkout to the cage. For the past seven fights Rousey has stormed to the cage to the sound of Bad Reputation by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and there may not be a more fitting song for any fighter on the UFC roster.
Rousey is uncompromising when it comes to her stance on just about anything whether it's demanding potential opponents like Cris Cyborg Justino drop down to 135 pounds to meet her or having the opinion that fighters deserve to make at least as much money as the ladies carrying number signs around the Octagon.
Just as the lyrics say I don't give a damn about my bad reputation and chances are neither does Rousey.
Cat Zingano didn't even get to break a sweat before her fight with Rousey was over but she gets massive bonus points for her choice of walkout songs at UFC 184.
Zingano came out to the song The Mission by Puscifer a side project from Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan featuring vocals by actress Milla Jovovich. Yes The Fifth Element star sings as well
Moving further down the card UFC newcomer Holly Holm decided to go with some Celtic music as she used the track The Landlord's Walk by Blair Douglas.
Raquel Pennington decided to use a popular dance track for her walkout as she came to the Octagon to the song Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
Josh Koscheck may have only one fight left on his UFC contract if he decides to stick around after his loss at UFC 184. But when he's finally done the world will be missing his walkouts to the Octagon. Koscheck has used the track Higher Ground by the Red Hot Chili Peppers since the beginning of his career and it's always a fantastic choice for fight night.
It didn't hurt that Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis also happened to be in attendance last night at UFC 184.
And finally Jake Ellenberger chose one of the most popular tracks for UFC walkouts in recent memory when he came out to the song 300 Violin Orchestra by Jorge Quintero. This track has somehow become a go to choice for many fighters lately and regardless of whether it's overused it's irrelevant because it's certainly a good track to listen to when about to punch someone in the face.
