The main event, Tate vs Rousey, didn’t ever see the later rounds, as it was Rousey who found a way to put an end to Tate’s reign as champion.  In an impressive display of technique Rousey secured an armbar that had the champion tapping out, unfortunately not before she received some damage to her arm.
