Mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey remains the undefeated Ultimate Fighting Championship's women's bantamweight champion as she knocked out Brazilian opponent, Bethe Correia, in just 34 seconds at the UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

According to Entertainment Tonight, this has been Rousey's third KO to be recorded under the one-minute mark, after knocking out Cat Zingano last March with a record-breaking 14 seconds and last year's 16-second win over Alexis Davis. In sheer Rousey fashion, she spitted out the words "Don't cry" after the takedown to mock Correia's threat in earlier interviews.

The incredible American champion has taken to social media how she sometimes has difficulty absorbing all her wins but it's always best when she shares it with her family.

Many of her fans share Rousey's sentiments, with most of them celebrities. Twitter has never been too hyped up with all the congratulatory tweets for Rousey.

CNN adds that Rousey's ability to knockout her opponents swiftly lets her maintain dominance as the only female bantamweight champion to get a 12-0 record and clearly, her career of firsts has made her a beacon of female greatness in a world of sports dominated by men. Her arrogance and claim as "the best fighter in the world" make it even better for the media to make a big deal out of her story.

Rousey isn't even afraid to be called the antihero because she likes playing a provocateur role. When she has been given the Best Fighter ESPY award, she has cockily wondered how Floyd Mayweather feels being beaten by a woman for once. She has been slowly dominating the Hollywood scenes with movies like "Trainwreck," "Entourage," "Furious 7" and "Expendables 3."

So what's next for Rousey?

Los Angeles Times writes that Rousey is asking for a stiffer challenge, and she has been set against Miesha Tate. Rousey is targeting the Jose Aldo-Conor McGregor featherweight title card on Dec. 5 at the Cowboys Stadium in Texas, of which UFC Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta confirms. This move will certainly break UFC and pay-per-view records.

UFC President Dana White added that with Rousey, anything is possible. She said you don't just see women knock out their opponents like that, and she gets better all the time. He struggled to think of who can beat Rousey, but the name "Cyborg" often comes up. White said that as soon as Cyborg makes the weight, the fight between Cyborg and Rousey will definitely be on.
