It only took 48 seconds for Amanda Nunes to end Ronda Rousey's comeback in rude fashion. The Brazilian fighter dominated her foe, prompting questions about Rousey's coaching and her future in the sport. Social media unleashed a flurry of ruthless memes following her loss, and even Justin Bieber trolled Rousey.

Big CFB Weekend

First, previews for the College Football Playoff semifinals: Bama vs. Washington in the Peach Bowl and Ohio State vs. Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl. Hopefully you watched a phenomenal Orange Bowl, during which Michigan gave up another bone-crushing, Clowney-like hit when they forgot to block and Jabrill Peppers sat out with a injury. Peppers later gave an emotional interview about the game and his football future. Also, Tennessee honored Nebraska punter Sam Foltz during the Music City Bowl, and Huskers receiver Brandon Reilly did the same with an awesome TD celebration.
