Watch Rose Namajunas win at Invicta with a flying armbar in just 12 seconds
Rose Namajunas spent just 12 seconds fighting at Invicta on Friday. After months of preparation for her bout with Kathina Catron, Namajunas hit a flying armbar and won by submission in just 12 seconds. The fight starts right around the one-minute mark, but it's worth watching the entire, moving video.
See as she prepares to walk out with the help of her boyfriend, UFC heavyweight Pat Barry. See the entire fight, because it is just 12 seconds long. See how she breaks down in tears as her arm is being raised and the emotion of her accomplishment hit her. See Barry show some athleticism, too, as he flies onto the side of the cage to congratulate his girl.
Fighting at straw weight (115 lbs.), Namajunas won four amateur fights before winning her first pro bout in January. She is now 2-0, and clearly is an exciting fighter to keep an eye on.

Gabriel Gonzaga: ?I believe that I belong in the top ten and I want to be there.?
UFC heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga fought his way into a title-shot a little over five years ago but came up short in his effort against then-champion Randy Couture.

Kelvin Gastelum wins ?The Ultimate Fighter? with upset of Uriah Hall
The Uriah Hall hype train came to a halt on Saturday night as Kelvin Gastelum managed a tight, split-decision win over the heavily favored Uriah Hall in the final of "The Ultimate Fighter" on Saturday night. The judges saw it 29-28, 28-29, 29-28 for Gastelum. With the win, Gastelum won the UFC's reality show tournament, a new motorcycle and a six-figure UFC contract.
Hall got to the final by knocking out three straight opponents in spectacular fashion. Gastelum, his teammate on the show, neutralized Hall with several takedowns throughout the bout. Early in the fight, he added in nasty ground and pound with elbows. Hall answered with a big slam in the second round and some takedowns and strikes of his own, but the overwhelming power he used to get to the final was not there.
Gastelum was the last fighter picked by Chael Sonnen during the first episode of the show, but he got to the final with three straight upsets. He continued with the upset win over Hall, and has now guaranteed his spot in the UFC. He still has plenty to prove in the UFC's middleweight division as he looked gassed late in the bout, but being the guy who stopped Hall is a good way to enter the division. At just 21, he has plenty of time to develop into an even better middleweight.
Hall's loss was shocking because the three straight wins he rattled off to get to the final were so overwhelming. His knockout of Adam Cella in the first round was one of the most memorable in TUF history, and earned him a $25,000 bonus as the fans voted it the best of the season. Sonnen, who coached Hall during the show, said that Hall was well on his way to being a UFC champion.
He has been such a popular fighter this season that it's highly likely that Hall will still get another shot in the UFC. But the buzz around him will drop off considerably, and his rise to the top of the MMA world will not be as fast as everyone expected.

UFC suspends Matt Mitrione for transphobic comments regarding Fallon Fox
The UFC wasted little time laying down the law on Matt Mitrione, suspending the heavyweight indefinitely for transphobic comments regarding Fallon Fox he made during an interview with Ariel Helwani Monday on "The MMA Hour."
Fox was born a man and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2006 and has had two fights as a professional mixed martial artist, winning both.
Mitrione repeatedly referred to Fox as a he and called her as "a lying, sick, sociopathic disgusting freak."
"Because she's not a he. He's a he," he said. "He's chromosomally a man. He had a gender change, not a sex change. He's still a man. He was a man for 31 years. Thirty-one years. That's a couple years younger than I am. He's a man. Six years of taking performance de-hancing drugs, you think is going to change all that? That's ridiculous.
"That is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak," Mitrione said. "And I mean that. Because you lied on your license to beat up women. That's disgusting. You should be embarrassed yourself. And the fact that Florida licensed him because California licensed him or whoever the hell did it, it's an embarrassment to us as fighters, as a sport, and we all should protest that. The woman that's fighting him, props to you. I hope you beat his ass, and I hope he gets blackballed and never fights again, because that's disgusting and I'm appalled by that."
The UFC, which announced a fighter code of conduct in January, moved swiftly to suspend Mitrione and denounce his comments.
"The UFC was appalled by the transphobic comments made by heavyweight Matt Mitrione today in an interview on 'The MMA Hour.' The organization finds Mr. Mitrione?s comments offensive and wholly unacceptable and - as a direct result of this significant breach of the UFC?s code of conduct ? Mr. Mitrione?s UFC contract has been suspended and the incident is being investigated. The UFC is a friend and ally of the LGBT community, and expects and requires all 450 of its athletes to treat others with dignity and respect."
The exact length of Mitrione's suspension has yet to be released.
