Rousey knocked out McMann with a knee to the liver after a series of knees and elbows to the body.

"We studied her videos and knew it was the best thing to concentrate on the liver shot for this camp," Rousey said. "The knee has been working for me the most throughout sparring in this camp."

Rousey said she's be interested in fighting one of the best female fighters, Cris Cyborg, next.

"Of course I'm interested in it," Rousey said of a potential fight against Cyborg after she knocked out McMann. "I'm not going anywhere. She knows where I'm at."

Looks like Cyborg is on board, too.
