‘SportsCenter’ Host Ronda Rousey Shows Proper Armbar Technique On Tim Kurkjian

Ronda Rousey co-hosted SportsCenter Wednesday night, making her the first female celebrity co-host in the show’s history. (SportsCenter had previously had Ken Jeong and Will Ferrell co-host the show.) It was all very cool, very groundbreaking stuff. But it wouldn’t have been a Rousey SportsCenter if she wasn’t showing someone how to actually break something. In this case, she showed anchor Lindsay Czarniak how to do an armbar on MLB analyst Tim Kurkjian. (Recall that Rousey attempted an armbar on Jimmy Fallon earlier this year.)

It doesn’t look like Czarniak is doing the arm bar correctly given the fact that Kurkjian’s arm is still attached to his body and not in multiple pieces, but it’s also understandable she doesn’t want to hurt him, either. Anyway, the biggest takeaways from the demonstration were: 1) Kurkjian is not used to having a woman’s bottom so close to his head and 2) Rousey has apparently never uttered the word “intricacies” before in her life.

That, and Raisinettes are roughly the size of a small child’s nostril, as Rousey explained:

Good times on SportsCenter with Rousey, indeed.
