By the Numbers: UFC 184

---

Ronda Rousey continues to raise the bar -- or apply it, if you prefer.

The women’s bantamweight champion barely broke a sweat in the UFC 184 headliner, tapping out Cat Zingano with an armbar 14 seconds into the first round at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The Olympic judoka only grows more efficient with each Octagon appearances, and the list of potential challengers is growing thinner by the month.

With such a dominant champion comes plenty of statistical superlatives. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 184, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.
