The MMA world reacted to Ronda Rousey's vintage 17-second armbar of Gina Carano in her MMA return on Netflix.
Ronda Rousey returned to MMA in triumphant fashion Saturday when she defeated fellow women's MMA pioneer Gina Carano in their main event on Netflix. UFC Hall of Famer Rousey (13-2) got her hand raised for the first time since August 2015 with a 17-second submission win over Carano (7-2) in the women's featherweight bout. But as soon as she returned to the sport to create a big moment, Rousey will seemingly exit back into retirement.

CSAS has released disclosed purses for the #RouseyCarano card, with Ronda Rousey leading all at $2. 2 million over Gina Carano's $1. 05 million.
