Ronda Rousey's Dominance In The UFC

Bethe Correia ate her words 34 seconds into the main event Saturday night at UFC 190 in Brazil. The Brazilian bantamweight fighter's 9-0 record going into the fight meant nothing when she met undefeated UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey's tightly wound fist like this scene out of "Star Wars."

This type of quick, dominant performance has become commonplace for Rousey who is often referred to as the most dominant fighter of all time. There are naysayers, however, due to the lack of depth and competition in women's mixed martial arts. After these clips, you can decide for yourself...


Here is a gif of what the Correia finish actually looked like...

I'm not even sure how to describe this one, but she does something spectacular and then finishes her opponent with a Ronda Rousey patented arm bar:

Here, Rousey finishes off her "closest competitor" and bitter rival despite an amazing unwillingness to tap on the part of Miesha Tate:

(Ow...) Those are some powerful visuals, but here are a few insane stats and facts too:


Rousey has only had one fight, amateur or professional, that has made it out of the first round.

Her last four fights have lasted a total of only 130 seconds.

Her world-class jujitsu has led her to nine armbar submission victories, making it her trademark.

Not only is she as dominant as Mike Tyson in his prime, but she has also had major parts in a few movies at the same time like "The Expendables 3," "Furious 7" and "Entourage."

If you aren't a fan of the UFC or haven't even heard of Ronda Rousey, I hope these gifs and facts pique your interest enough to look into the ever-expanding sport of women's MMA.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
