Cat Zingano LOS ANGELES – Following a quick and crushing loss to UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey , Cat Zingano struggled to put the performance into words. But UFC President Dana White had some encouraging words of his own. In Saturday’s UFC 184 pay-per-view headliner at Los Angeles’ Staples Center, Zingano (9-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) rushed Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) but quickly found herself in a scramble and then a fight-ending straight armbar . All told, it took the dominant Rousey a whopping 14 seconds to get the tap-out and notch her fifth consecutive title defense (watch the Rousey vs. Zingano video highlights ). For Zingano, a sizable underdog but still one of Rousey’s most credible opponents, it happened in a flash. “It was a knee, then a throw, then a scramble, and then my arm was – she was wrapped around my arm,” Zingano said. “I don’t know. I got caught. I was ready to do a million different things. I planned on getting in a fist fight tonight, not being done in 15 seconds. I don’t know. I don’t know what to say. I got caught. I’m a better fighter for it.” Zingano, who suffered her first career loss, was clearly dejected – perhaps still in a bit of disbelief – as she arrived at Saturday’s post-fight press conference. But with her first question, her answer made it clear she wants a do-over. Thankfully for her, it sounds like her road to a rematch won’t be too difficult. window._usmgOptions = window._usmgOptions
