UFC 184: Rousey vs. Zingano was a mixed martial arts event held on February 28, 2015, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.[3]
Background
[edit]A UFC Middleweight Championship bout between Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort was expected to serve as the event headliner. The much delayed pairing was previously scheduled to take place at UFC 173 and also at UFC 181. However, on January 30, the UFC announced that Weidman had pulled out of the bout, citing an injury he sustained in training.[4] Subsequently, a UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Ronda Rousey and top contender Cat Zingano was promoted to the main event.[5] Belfort was offered an interim title fight first against Lyoto Machida and then Gegard Mousasi as a replacement for Weidman, but he declined and stated that he would only fight for the full title.[6][7][8]
Neil Magny was briefly linked to a bout with Josh Koscheck at the event.[9] However, Magny was pulled from the fight in favor of a bout with Kiichi Kunimoto at UFC Fight Night 60. Koscheck faced Jake Ellenberger instead.[10]
A bout between touted newcomer Holly Holm and Raquel Pennington, originally booked for UFC 181 and ultimately scrapped due to Holm being injured, served as the co-headliner.[11][12]
Mark Muñoz was very briefly scheduled to a bout with Caio Magalhães at the event.[13] However, shortly after the bout was announced by the UFC, Magalhães indicated that he would not be able to compete at the event due to a lingering infection after recent dental surgery, which would require additional surgery.[14] Muñoz stayed on the card and faced returning UFC veteran Roan Carneiro.[12][15]
A heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir and Antônio Silva, originally scheduled for the main card, was moved up a week and served as the event headliner for UFC Fight Night 61.[16]
Ronaldo Souza was expected to face Yoel Romero at this event. However, on January 15, Souza was forced to withdraw from the bout with pneumonia. The pairing was left intact and the fight rescheduled for UFC on Fox 15.[17][18]
Yancy Medeiros was slated to face Tony Ferguson at this event, but an injured foot forced him out of the bout. On the same day, Gleison Tibau was announced as his replacement.[19]

View on GrokipediaEvent Overview
Date and Venue
UFC 184 took place on February 28, 2015.[1] The event was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, a premier multi-purpose arena known for hosting major sporting and entertainment events, including home games for the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Los Angeles Kings.[7] The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 20,000 for mixed martial arts and boxing configurations, making it a significant location for UFC pay-per-view events on the West Coast.[8] With an attendance of 17,654, UFC 184 marked the largest crowd for a UFC event at the Staples Center at that time, surpassing previous shows there.[9] Scheduled in Pacific Standard Time (PST), the event followed standard UFC timing for West Coast cards, with early prelims beginning at 4:00 PM PST, prelims at 5:00 PM PST, and the main card starting at 7:00 PM PST.[10] This alignment catered to local audiences while accommodating national broadcast schedules.Promotion and Broadcast Details
UFC 184 was promoted by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the leading mixed martial arts promotion organization, which handled all aspects of event production, marketing, and distribution.[11] The event's main card was broadcast on pay-per-view (PPV) through UFC Fight Pass and traditional cable providers starting at 10:00 p.m. ET, while the preliminary card aired on Fox Sports 1 beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET, and early prelims were available on UFC Fight Pass from 7:00 p.m. ET.[12][13] The PPV main card generated an estimated 600,000 buys, reflecting strong viewership for the women's bantamweight title bout headliner amid card adjustments due to injuries.[14] Billed as "Rousey vs. Zingano," the event's promotional theme centered on the anticipated clash between UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and top contender Cat Zingano, emphasizing Rousey's dominance and Zingano's aggressive style in marketing materials and trailers.[15] The English-language broadcast featured commentary from play-by-play announcer Mike Goldberg and color analyst Joe Rogan, providing analysis throughout the telecast.[16]Background and Preparation
Original Scheduling and Card Alterations
UFC 184 was originally slated to be headlined by a UFC Middleweight Championship bout between champion Chris Weidman and top contender Vitor Belfort on February 28, 2015, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The matchup had been delayed multiple times previously due to injuries and regulatory issues, with the fight finally booked for this event following cancellations at UFC 173 (due to Belfort's withdrawal over the TRT ban) and UFC 181 (due to Weidman's hand injury).[2][17] On January 30, 2015, Weidman was forced to withdraw from the main event after sustaining a rib injury during training—a tear in the cartilage that required recovery time estimated at several months. This marked the second postponement due to the champion's injuries, with the overall matchup delayed three times. In response, the UFC offered Belfort replacement opponents for the main event slot, including Gegard Mousasi and an interim title bout against Lyoto Machida, but Belfort declined all options, opting to wait for a direct title opportunity against Weidman instead.[2][18][19][20][21] With the original headliner unavailable, UFC officials quickly pivoted to elevate the women's bantamweight title fight between champion Ronda Rousey and No. 1 contender Cat Zingano, which had been originally scheduled for UFC 182 before being postponed due to Zingano's back injury. The Rousey-Zingano bout was confirmed as the new main event on the same day as Weidman's withdrawal, preserving the pay-per-view appeal of the card.[2] The undercard also experienced significant alterations in the lead-up to the event. In mid-January 2015, middleweight contender Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza withdrew from a highly anticipated matchup against Yoel Romero due to a diagnosis of pneumonia, which sidelined him for several weeks. The bout was cancelled and later rescheduled for UFC 194. This change was announced on January 15, 2015, and highlighted the depth of the middleweight division at the time. As a result, a lightweight bout between Tony Ferguson and Yancy Medeiros was elevated to the main card.[22][23] Other preliminary bouts saw shifts as well, including a targeted welterweight clash between Josh Koscheck and Neil Magny that was initially reported in late November 2014 but ultimately scrapped without a stated reason; Koscheck was instead paired with Jake Ellenberger. These modifications, occurring primarily between late 2014 and early February 2015, reflected the challenges of finalizing a high-profile UFC card amid unforeseen medical setbacks.[24][25]Build-Up to Key Matchups
The main event of UFC 184 pitted undefeated UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey against No. 1 contender Cat Zingano, both entering with perfect professional records—Rousey at 10-0 and Zingano at 9-0—creating significant anticipation as a potential defining moment for women's MMA.[26] Rousey's dominance was highlighted by her rapid finishes in prior title defenses, showcasing her Olympic-level judo and striking evolution, while Zingano's aggressive, unpredictable style, including her wrestling background and knockout power, positioned her as Rousey's most formidable challenger to date.[27] In pre-fight media, Rousey emphasized the threat posed by Zingano's tenacity and grappling, noting her resilience as a key factor that could test Rousey's undefeated streak in ways previous opponents had not.[28] The co-main event featured Holly Holm's highly anticipated UFC debut against Raquel Pennington, a pivotal women's bantamweight clash contrasting Holm's elite boxing pedigree—where she held multiple world titles—with Pennington's strengths in grappling and physicality.[29] Pennington, a rising contender with a background in wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, expressed confidence that her ground game and strength would neutralize Holm's striking advantage, setting up a stylistic matchup that drew interest for its potential to showcase diverse skill sets in the division.[30] Other notable bouts included the welterweight matchup between Jake Ellenberger and Josh Koscheck, renewing tensions among UFC veterans as both sought to halt three-fight losing skids in a high-stakes elimination-style fight that evoked the division's competitive history.[31] In the lightweight division, Tony Ferguson faced Gleison Tibau in a last-minute showcase, with Ferguson's unorthodox four-fight winning streak on the line against the experienced Brazilian veteran's grappling prowess, highlighting emerging talent in a reshuffled card impacted by injuries.[32] At the February 27, 2015, weigh-ins and media day in Los Angeles, tensions escalated during intense staredowns, particularly between Rousey and Zingano, where the challenger's aggressive posture and the champion's steely response drew crowd reactions and underscored the personal stakes without any major altercations.[33] Verbal exchanges remained respectful yet pointed, with Zingano declaring her intent to overwhelm Rousey relentlessly, amplifying the event's promotional narrative of an inevitable clash of wills.[28]Fight Card and Results
Main Card Outcomes
The main event featured UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey defending her title against Cat Zingano in a highly anticipated matchup following months of buildup around Zingano's aggressive wrestling style.[1] Immediately after the bell, Zingano charged forward with a flying knee attempt and followed with a takedown shot, but Rousey countered explosively by sprawling and executing a head-and-arm throw to transition into side control.[34] From there, Rousey swiftly isolated Zingano's arm and locked in an armbar, forcing the tap at just 0:14 of the first round to retain her championship.[1] This marked Rousey's sixth consecutive first-round finish in the UFC and the fastest title fight victory in Octagon history at the time.[35] In the co-main event, unbeaten Holly Holm faced Raquel Pennington in a women's bantamweight bout that showcased competitive striking exchanges throughout three rounds.[1] Holm controlled the early action in the first round with precise jabs, side kicks to the body, and knees in the clinch, while Pennington responded with counters but struggled to find consistent rhythm, earning Holm the round on most scorecards.[34] The second round continued Holm's dominance as she landed high kicks and maintained distance, though Pennington increased her pressure late. In the third, Pennington stunned Holm with a right hand that dropped her briefly, but Holm recovered and fended off further advances, leading to a close frame; judges scored it 29-28 for Holm in a split decision victory.[1] This win propelled Holm toward future title contention in the division.[35] The welterweight clash between veterans Jake Ellenberger and Josh Koscheck delivered a gritty battle marked by mutual respect and hard-fought exchanges.[1] In the first round, Ellenberger connected with a stiff right hand on the feet, prompting Koscheck to secure a takedown midway through, though Ellenberger quickly reversed and worked from top position before the round ended in a standup scramble, favoring Ellenberger 10-9.[34] The second round saw Koscheck hesitate after absorbing a punch, allowing Ellenberger to clinch and drop levels for a guillotine choke attempt; as Koscheck defended, Ellenberger transitioned to a north-south position and readjusted the guillotine, forcing the tap at 4:20 via submission.[1] Both fighters, with over a decade of UFC experience, exchanged post-fight praise for the intensity of the "veterans' war." Alan Jouban produced an upset highlight in his welterweight bout against Richard Walsh, a TUF alum making his UFC debut, by capitalizing on early aggression to secure a knockout.[1] Jouban opened with a body kick to test range, then closed distance to land a sharp elbow that rocked Walsh against the cage, followed by a flurry of punches that dropped him and prompted referee intervention at 2:19 of the first round.[34] The finish underscored Jouban's striking precision and marked a significant rebound win after a prior loss, while Walsh's inexperience was exposed in the high-stakes main card environment.[36] Opening the main card, Tony Ferguson demonstrated his grappling prowess against Gleison Tibau in a lightweight matchup filled with transitional action.[1] Ferguson caught Tibau's low kick early, countering with a right cross that staggered him and allowed Ferguson to take the back in a scramble; from there, he sunk in a rear-naked choke, forcing the tap at 2:37 of the first round.[34] The submission victory extended Ferguson's win streak to five and highlighted his unorthodox wrestling transitions in what served as a grappling clinic against the durable Brazilian veteran.[35]Preliminary Card Outcomes
The preliminary card for UFC 184 featured six bouts across middleweight, bantamweight, welterweight, lightweight, heavyweight, and featherweight divisions, airing on Fox Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. These undercard fights showcased a mix of quick finishes, a controversial stoppage, and closely contested decisions, contributing to the event's overall excitement despite significant card changes due to injuries earlier in the week.[1] In the opening middleweight bout, Roan Carneiro quickly overcame Mark Munoz with superior grappling, securing a technical submission via rear-naked choke at 1:40 of the first round after transitioning from a takedown attempt.[1] The bantamweight matchup between Roman Salazar and Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto was ruled a no contest at 2:37 of the second round due to an accidental eye poke that rendered Salazar unable to continue, halting what had been a competitive striking exchange.[1] Tim Means made a statement in his welterweight clash against Dhiego Lima, delivering a barrage of punches for a TKO victory at 2:17 of the first round and highlighting the intensity of Lima's UFC bout.[1] Heavyweight action saw Derrick Lewis overpower Ruan Potts with ground-and-pound strikes, earning a TKO at 3:18 of the second round after dominating positionally and showcasing his raw knockout power.[1] The lightweight bout between Brazilian Valmir Lázaro and James Krause went the full distance, with Lázaro capturing a split decision victory after three five-minute rounds marked by international flair, effective jabbing, and resilient takedown defense.[1] Closing the preliminary card, featherweights Masio Fullen and Alex Torres engaged in a technical battle, where Fullen edged out a split decision win over three rounds through precise clinch work and counterstriking, overcoming Torres's early pressure.[1]| Bout | Result | Method | Round/Time |

Post-Event Analysis
Bonus Awards and Recognitions
At UFC 184, four fighters received Performance of the Night bonuses, each worth $50,000, for their exceptional finishes during the event. Ronda Rousey earned the award for her record-setting 14-second armbar submission victory over Cat Zingano in the main event. Jake Ellenberger was recognized for his first-round guillotine choke submission of Josh Koscheck on the main card. Tony Ferguson secured his bonus with a second-round D'Arce choke finish against Gleison Tibau in the lightweight bout. In the preliminary card, Tim Means claimed his award for a first-round TKO of Dhiego Lima via strikes.[37][38] No Fight of the Night bonus was awarded, as the event lacked a standout three-round battle that met the criteria for the most exciting matchup, influenced in part by the rapid conclusion of the headline fight.[37][39] The bonuses were announced by UFC President Dana White during the post-fight press conference held immediately after the event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This standard procedure allows for real-time evaluation by UFC executives based on fight outcomes and highlights.[39][38] Since their introduction in 2005 and expansion in 2014 to include two Performance of the Night awards alongside Fight of the Night, UFC bonuses have served to incentivize aggressive styles and quick finishes, rewarding fighters for delivering high-impact performances that enhance event appeal and align with the promotion's emphasis on decisive outcomes over decisions.[40][41]Fighter Payouts and Financials
The disclosed fighter payouts for UFC 184, as reported to the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), totaled $863,000 in base salaries and win bonuses.[42] These figures represent the guaranteed purses and performance incentives paid directly by the UFC, excluding pay-per-view revenue shares, sponsorship earnings, or additional locker room bonuses.[43] Among the participants, Jake Ellenberger earned the highest disclosed amount of $136,000, comprising a $68,000 base pay and a matching $68,000 win bonus for his victory over Josh Koscheck.[43] Ronda Rousey, the event's main event headliner, received $130,000, including $65,000 base pay and a $65,000 win bonus for her title defense against Cat Zingano.[43] Zingano earned a flat $100,000 with no win bonus, while Holly Holm took home $50,000 ($25,000 base plus $25,000 win bonus) for defeating Raquel Pennington.[43] Other notable earners included Tony Ferguson, who received $48,000 ($24,000 base plus $24,000 win bonus) for his win over Gleison Tibau, and Alan Jouban with $20,000 ($10,000 base plus $10,000 win bonus) against Richard Walsh.[43] Tim Means earned $34,000 ($17,000 base plus $17,000 win bonus) in his bout with Dhiego Lima.[43] Fight night performance bonuses, such as those for Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night, provided additional undisclosed compensation to select winners, further supplementing these base figures.[42]| Fighter | Base Pay | Win Bonus | Total |
