On Saturday night, Feb. 28, inside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., UFC star Ronda Rousey continued to impress, knocking out previously-undefeated Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds at UFC 184.

Rousey has garnered mainstream attention for her accomplishments and is one of the most-publicized female athletes on the planet.

So much has Rousey’s buzz spread that eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao has paid his respect. Taking to social media following the match, Pacquiao posted a photo of himself holding up a sign that stated the following.

“Ronda Rousey,

I congratulate you for your amazing performance tonight. That’s a well-deserved victory. Let’s give glory to God for all your accomplishments.”
