Amanda Nunes made Ronda Rousey's return to the Octagon a short one Friday night at UFC 207 in Las Vegas, as she dominated Rousey in just 48 seconds to retain her bantamweight title.
And Nunes herself threw one last punch not long after the fight, tweeting this picture about how she owns Rousey.

Here's a sampling of the reaction from the world of MMA and beyond:

Ronda rousey should have picked a warmup fight so that she could have gotten her legs under her. I felt so sorry for her 😢! #48SecondsKO
