Ronda Rousey put Jimmy Fallon in an armbar
Ronda Rousey stopped by The Tonight Show to chat with Jimmy Fallon about her upcoming autobiography, as well as her roles in Fast and Furious7 and the Entourage movie.
• Dana White reacts to Brock Lesnar staying with WWE
While he had the UFC bantamweight champ in front of him, Fallon decided to press his luck and have her show off the mechanics of her signature armbar submission.
The host is nervous to say the least, and picks an unfortunately long safe word, but does manage to come away unscathed, which is more than many of Rousey's opponents, and even the occasional interviewer, can say.
• Karl-Anthony Towns has an imaginary friend
