Ronda Rousey’s 17-second win in return caps MVP’s star-studded venture into MMA

MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said the entire idea of MVP venturing into MMA revolved around one name: Ronda Rousey.And on Saturday night at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., Rousey proved her name still carried the weight to anchor an entire fight card on spectacle alone.
