Ronda Rousey Beats Sarah D'Alelio; Steve Mazzagatti at Center of Controversy

Ronda Rousey continues her sizzling start to MMA.Former U.S. Olympian Ronda Rousey won her first Strikeforce fight in short order Friday night, beating Sarah D'Alelio with an arm bar in just 25 seconds. Unfortunately, Rousey's performance isn't what everyone will be talking about.

Instead, the story of the fight was that referee Steve Mazzagatti stopped the fight even though D'Alelio didn't tap out.

Rousey used her world-class judo technique to take D'Alelio down and sink in an armbar at the start of the first round, but D'Alelio seemed poised and ready to fight off the arm bar, and she did not tap out. Surprisingly, Mazzagatti stepped in and stopped the fight anyway.
