LOS ANGELES (TheBlaze/AP) Ronda Rousey won a fight in 16 seconds last summer falling a second short of the quickest victory in UFC history. At the time the bantamweight champion figured the speed with which she pummeled Alexis Davis was a fluke.
It s something everybody on my team was teasing me about but I wasn t taking seriously Rousey said. I didn t seriously think I could top it.

Just about anything seems possible these days for mixed martial arts most dominant champion.
Rousey (11 0) needed just 14 electrifying seconds to finish off Cat Zingano at UFC 184 on Saturday night in her hometown. Not only was it the fastest finish ever in a UFC title bout it was the quickest submission victory in the promotion s several thousand bouts of history.

The search for a worthy opponent will take much longer.
Rousey is a bona fide superstar after selling out Staples Center and attracting what s expected to be a solid pay per view audience but the UFC is facing a problem finding opponents who can be sold to the world as having a chance to contend with her otherworldly skills.
Yeah we re going to move her to the men s division and see the odds UFC President Dana White said with a laugh. I don t know what to do with this lady.
