Rousey (13-2) didn&#8217;t waste an instant after the opening bell, immediately charging and tackling Carano. Rousey moved into position and applied her famous finishing move, wrenching Carano&#8217;s arm as the fight was stopped.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Carano, who hadn\u2019t fought in 17 years, was all smiles even after the swift end to one of the longest layoffs in pro sports history.

The disappointment of losing like that is very humbling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>She wrote about the difficulties from her training: &#8220;It was physically the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done taking the weight off while turning back into an athlete. I felt like a science experiment losing 100lbs. Every week the pressure of how to get that little bit off. I learned a little late how to do it healthier but trial by fire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Carano went on to praise Rousey, saying they &#8220;made history, again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m so glad the world got to experience this version of @rondarousey,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I found a beautiful woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister and legend.
