As the title match reached it’s finale, Flair attempted to force a submission from Rousey when Rousey kicked out and sent Flair flying into the referee.
The referee hit the turnbuckle and fell “unconscious” for a while, as Rousey completed an arm bar on Flair that forced her to immediately tap out of the fight. Unfortunately for Rousey, the referee wasn’t available to see the tap out, leaving Rousey to try and wake him back up herself. As she told the referee to get back to his job, Flair came out of nowhere with a kick to her head, immediately pinning her in front of the referee and stealing the match.
