Ronda Rousey beat Gina Carano in 17 seconds on May 18, according to Netflix Tudum’s official event recap. The finish came by first-round armbar in the main event of Netflix’s first live MMA card, a show staged in partnership with Most Valuable Promotions and streamed globally to subscribers. Tudum said the event also included Nate Diaz against Mike Perry and Francis Ngannou against Philipe Lins. The result gave the card its headline moment almost immediately after the main event began. ### How fast did the main event end? Tudum listed the official result as Rousey defeating Carano by submission, armbar, at 0:17 of Round 1. The recap said Rousey shot for a takedown right after Carano threw a leg kick, brought the fight to the mat within seconds and finished with what Tudum described as her signature armbar. (netflix.com) The same recap said Carano briefly threatened with a guillotine choke before Rousey advanced and secured the finish. Tudum described the ending as a vintage armbar finish and said the crowd was stunned by how quickly the bout ended. ### Where did this fight sit in Netflix’s broader MMA rollout? Netflix Tudum said the card marked Netflix’s first live MMA broadcast and was produced with Most Valuable Promotions. (netflix.com) The company’s preview page said the fights took place inside a hexagon cage and streamed globally to Netflix subscribers at no additional cost. A separate Tudum trailer page said the event was scheduled for Saturday, May 16, at 9 p.m. ET and promoted three marquee pairings: Rousey-Carano, Diaz-Perry and Ngannou-Lins. Netflix’s event hub lists the full program runtime at 3 hours, 27 minutes. ### Who else fought on the card? Netflix Tudum’s fight-card page listed Nate Diaz vs. (netflix.com) Mike Perry and Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins alongside the Rousey-Carano main event. The prelims page also described the main card as featuring those three headline bouts. Tudum published a separate result item on Ngannou’s fight saying Francis Ngannou knocked out Philipe Lins at 4:31 of Round 1. (netflix.com) That article said Ngannou finished Lins by knockout on the same show. ### Why is the spelling of Lins’ first name inconsistent? Netflix Tudum’s fight-card page and event hub spell the heavyweight opponent’s name as Philipe Lins. (netflix.com) Another Tudum result page for the same bout spells it Philippe Lins. This thread follows Netflix’s own coverage and notes the discrepancy because both spellings appear across Tudum’s pages for the event. (netflix.com) ### Where can readers find the rest of the results? Netflix Tudum’s results page said it carried live results for the main card, while a separate prelims page listed early-fight winners and finishes. The event hub also links to the trailer, previews and individual fight recaps in one place. As of May 20, Netflix Tudum’s coverage package includes the main-event recap, the Ngannou-Lins result, the full fight-card listing and the broader event explainer. (netflix.com) Those pages are the clearest next stop for readers looking for complete bout-by-bout results from the Rousey vs. Carano card. (netflix.com)
