Ronda Rousey easily vanquished UFC 190 opponent Bethe Correia with a 34-second knockout, but her bantamweight title belt will stay in Brazil.
The champion vowed before the fight that she would leave the belt in Brazil as a gift because Correia wouldn’t be able to, and she made good on her trash-talk promise. Rousey gave the belt to Instituto Reação, a judo school in Rio de Janeiro.

Rousey actually got her start in judo and has a bronze medal from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. She’s been to Instituto Reação before, too, as she donated $30,000 to the school in March.
