Zoila Gurgel is beating herself up in the corner before the fight begins, smacking herself in the face, body and legs to get ready for her scrap.
Ronda Rousey looks like she has been waiting for this fight forever.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage
It's hard to say who will be winning this fight. The specialized media doesn't have a favourite either.
The referee of the bout is Steve Mazzagatti.

Same recurring problem for Zoila. Waits too long to get going against the elite fighters. I expected Rousey to submit her here though. The subs did a lot of damage, and I don’t believe Zoila has particularly strong Sub D.
