Video: Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate armbar 'break' down with the Gracies

Ronda Rousey won the Strikeforce 135-pound title last Saturday night (March 3, 2012) at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, submitting Miesha Tate with a grisly armbar in the very first round live on Showtime. It was her fifth straight submission victory within the opening frame, although "Takedown" lasted the longest inside the cage with "Rowdy" than anyone else.

Now, Rener and Ryron Gracie are ready to show you how it all went down.

For what it's worth, prior to the finish, Tate performed admirably, exchanging punches and even momentarily taking Rousey's back and working for a submission of her own. The former Olympian's top-shelf judo and tosses proved to be just too much, however, as Rousey was able to literally flip the momentum in her favor at just about every turn.
