After last weekend’s controversial stoppage decision, by referee, Eduardo Herdy at UFC Fight Night 62 in Rio de Janeiro where Herdy had decided to stop the action whilst Drew Dober was actively fighting his way out of an attempted guillotine choke by Leandro Silva, it has emerged now that the Brazilian Athletic commission have overturned the original decision of a win to Silva and made the fight, rightly so to a NO CONTEST bout.

Ronda Rousey on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
She is currently undefeated. Jimmy Fallon said “You look gorgeous!” and told her that she had a “great name for a fighter.”
She told him “Once I started taking judo lessons, it let a lot of my aggression out.” Her mom had been a judo champion, Ronda told Fallon.
“Where did you think your judo would take you?” Fallon asked her.
Ronda replied that she won a medal in the Olympics, before she got into mixed martial arts. She said that her mom had called the idea “the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.”
While in the ring, Ronda said that she “was completely emotionless. It’s just observations and decisions.”
“Fighting isn’t a man’s thing, it’s a human’s thing,” Ronda stated. “To say that it’s a man’s thing is anti-feminist.”
“They call you the ‘Arm Collector,’” Fallon said, “because you snap people’s arms.”

Ronda asked him “Give me your arm,” and she demonstrated on him what she does in a fight. His “safe word” was “Rumpelstiltskin,” and he said it pretty quickly, once she demonstrated what she does on his arm.
