Saturday night Ronda Rousey took on challenger Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, to defend her bantamweight title.
Leading up to the fight there had been a lot of bad blood between the two fighters.
The animosity started earlier this year when Correia made a veiled reference to Rousey's father's suicide.
When asked about Rousey at a promotional event, Correia said:
"She is winning, so everybody is around her cheering her up, but when she realizes she is not everything that she believes she is, I don't know what might happen.
"I hope she does not kill herself later on. [laughs]"
Rousey took to Twitter to voice her own opinion on the quote, and vowed payback.
@bethecorreia suicide is no joke or selling point. My father will be with me the day I hand you the comeuppance you deserve.
Tensions were high as the fight got underway.
However, Rousey wasted no time, and in just 34 seconds got Correia with a combination against the fence that sent her down. The referee immediately stepped in to stop the fight.
