You may remember a video surfacing earlier this month of Ronda Rousey compacting a web show host’s ribs with a judo throw.
It is not a new video—at all—but it made the blog rounds and served as a poignant reminder that Rousey is always one twist of the hips away from pulping your ribs and groin into pink gazpacho.
With this in mind, let’s turn to Tuesday’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where the judoka addressed the lack of formal oversight in amateur MMA fighting and demonstrated how easily she could go about snapping Jimmy Fallon’s arm.
Before the “armbar” demonstration began, Fallon locked in “Rumpelstiltskin” as his tap-out safe word—just in case.
“Your arm doesn’t go beyond 180 degrees,” Rousey explained. “It doesn’t take a lot of pressure [to break it], you just push it right at the elbow joint.”
Fallon tapped out quickly.
“That was scary,” Fallon said. “That’s like putting your head in the lion’s mouth.”
Letting Rousey use you as a practice dummy/human rag doll is not in your best interest, guys. She is a portable Spanish torture chamber from the 16th century Inquisition. She will break you.
Dan is on Twitter. Everybody expects the Armbar Inquisition.
