Lauren Murphy defends the Women's title!
Rousey had a small burst of takedown/submission offence, twice actually, but once Murphy landed the takedown and started the GnP, it was game-ver for Ronda Rousey. (Takedown defence might have helped her in this one, but the stamina upgrades did not hurt her either).
Real question...can anyone stop this woman?
