A decade ago, significant events unfolded in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA) that are being remembered today. In a highly anticipated rematch, Ronda Rousey successfully defended her UFC women’s bantamweight title by submitting Miesha Tate at UFC 168. Rousey's victory was marked by her refusal to shake Tate's hand post-fight. On the same card, Travis Browne achieved a swift knockout victory over Josh Barnett, and Dustin Poirier finished Diego Brandao. Five years ago, Amanda Nunes made history by knocking out Cris Cyborg in just 51 seconds, becoming the first woman to hold two UFC championship titles simultaneously and arguably the best women's fighter in MMA history. This defeat was the only knockout loss in Cyborg's career, which had been undefeated for 14 years until that point, and she has remained undefeated for another 5 years since. Other memorable moments include Jon Jones stopping Alexander Gustafsson, Alexander Volkanovski defeating Chad Mendes, and the iconic bout between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva that took place in 2007.
