Ronda Rousey's lightning-flash finishes -- where she puts opponents away before the first minute of the fight expires -- have not only earned her a reputation as one of the most dominant champions in the history of MMA, but now she's even being used as a verb.
On Monday night's edition of "WWE Raw," Paul Heyman -- who is a big fan of Rousey's and the advocate for WWE heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar -- gave her a shoutout in the most "professional wrestling" way possible.
Heyman was explaining all the ways Lesnar will dominate and decimate opponent Roman Reigns at the WWE's biggest event of the year, WrestleMania, later this month.
After his prediction that Lesnar might just ragdoll Reigns like he did another wrestler last year, Heyman followed that up with a mention of the UFC women's bantamweight champion, and how that might play a part in how Lesnar will finish the match at WrestleMania (at the 3:05 mark on the video).

"Two -- Brock Lesnar simply 'Ronda Rouseys' your ass!" Heyman shouted on the microphone.
So now not only is Rousey finishing people in ways that have never been done before in UFC history, she's even managed to transcend pop culture. People are using her name to describe the most vicious, dominant victory possible.
Seems like a pretty good compliment if your name is going to get turned into a verb.
