Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-02-28, great start and spectacular finish: Ronda Rousey vs Cat Zingano it’s the first mma fight of the year 2015 to get four stars (UFC Performance of the Night).Both undefeated, the black belt in judo and former Strikeforce Bw champion Ronda Rousey entered this fight with a perfect mma record of 10-0-0 (100% finishing rate) and she is ranked as the No.1 women’s bantamweight in the world while her opponent, Cat Zingano, has an official record of 9-0-0 (89% finishing rate) and she entered as the No.4 in the same weight class. Rousey fought twice in 2014 beating Sara McMann (=Rousey vs McMann) and Alexis Davis (in just 16 seconds, Rousey vs Davis) while Zingano fought just once defeating Amanda Nunes (=Zingano vs Nunes). The only common opponent faced by Ronda and Cat was Miesha Tate: ‘Rowdy’ beat her in just one round in 2012 (mma Fight of the Year candidate Rousey vs Tate I) and in three rounds in 2013, both times thanks to her signature armbar submission (=Rousey vs Tate II), while ‘Alpha’ Zingano defeated Miesha by tko in three rounds (4-stars-fight, Tate vs Zingano). Rousey vs Zingano, main event of Ufc 184, is valid for the Ufc women’s bantamweight title (held by Rousey). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Zingano was the only one that could beat ronda for me and i still think she has some chances and in a rematch she would not start the fight like she did.
A dream match between Cyborg justino and rousey would be exciting but the only way the Brazilian could defeat rowdy is to fight standing.
man. stop putting the ladies on the card. rhonda can fight… for a girl… the rest are literally brutal. never ever exciting.
Ronda is at a level now that is unbeatable . She can end a fight whenever she likes. The second fight with Miesha it was clear she was simply working out.
4 stars? Are you kidding me? For a 14 second submission?
Thats why dizzy
U give this crap 4 stars and Jones vs DC 3 stars?..what logic is that..whoever rates these fights is a m*ron
Hi “thekid25”
rating a 14 seconds fight is not very easy, the first time we saw it we were disappointed, but after watching it and the submission several times we understood this could be the best submission of the year (perfect and quick execution between two of the top 5 women’s bantamweight) and we usually give 4-stars to the best knockouts and submissions of the year.
Anyway…you know that every user can rate the fight in a different way and we are happy to see that sometimes a lot of fans rated other bouts in a different way (because we don’t have only our mma ranking but there is also the users’ mma ranking) but both for Rousey vs Zingano and for Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier we rated these fights like many other users.
Thanks to follow us and rate this bout!
You saying this is rated better then Jones vs DC is pushing it IMO
She is the most boring fighter ever. Cant standup fight. I give it one star as a spectator
I think we cant help agreeing that Ronda displayed a huge technical submission, and practically no other mmartist can do it the way she does, perhaps fabricio werdum, since he is a jiu jitsu specialist… I wouldn´t give the fight 4 stars… it lacks the excitement of a close match, the sweat, the back and forth pace it needs to have in order to be a 4 stars match, yet i agree with the administrators of this website, when stating that it was probably the best submission of the year… 3 stars would have been fair. Ronda has no match, in this or any other weigh class… Zingano has no defense against what ronda is brinigin to the cage every single time she has to put his title on the line, Cyborg is old and worn out, She´d end up with his arms completely f*cked up, his teeth splattered and his huge ego on the floor… try putting Royce Gracie agaist Cain Velazques and you´ll see what i´m talking about…
This was pretty darn cool, but so short, no “drama” no nail-biting, no super excitement (no time for it lol) etc. Though I enjoyed the heck out of it, I just dont think it has the potential for fight of the year
