Titelmatchen på UFC 184 mellan Cat Zingano (9-1) och Ronda Rousey (12-0) varade bara i 14 sekunder, där Zingano blev besegrad via armbar och nu berättar Zingano att hon inte förväntade sig att Rousey skulle attackera hennes arm.
Zingano berättar att efter att hon öppnade matchen med ett flying knee, så trodde hon att matchen skulle fortsätta, då Zingano inte trodde att det skulle bli en jiu-jitsu match.

”I stand by my decision,” sa Zingano om hennes strategi inför matchen. ”Throughout the week, every time I saw Ronda we would shake hands and she would say, ’Come on, let’s do this. Let’s put on an epic fight.’ I was thinking, ’I don’t want to talk to her. I don’t want to be friends with her. At some point, I’m planning on being on top of this girl and I don’t want to care what I’m doing to her.’
”But she kept saying things like that so I said, ’OK, let’s do this.’ What better way to put on an epic fight than a flying knee? I expected us to continue to fight. I didn’t realize we were going to do a jiu-jitsu match where I’m flying at her and all of a sudden she’s going for my arm again. I guess that’s one disappointment I had. If I had known she was going to be going for my arms, I would have gone about it differently. I agreed to her kind of fight instead of my kind of fight, and that won’t happen again.”
