The Brazilian Bethe Correia came into this fight with nine wins, no losses.

The reason why there was so much hype surrounding this fight was Correia’s way of letting Rousey know she wasn’t scared of her.

She sh*t talked Rousey the whole time, getting absolutely out of control at the weigh in and even added a “I hope you don’t kill yourself when I beat you” to Rousey.

For those of you who don’t know, Ronda’s father unfortunately took his own life. Once Correia said that, Rousey took this fight more personal. OBVIOUSLY.

Staredowns…. Born Ready #UFC190 #Aug1st #andSTILL

A post shared by Ronda Rousey (@rondarousey) on

She wanted to “beat (Bethe Correia) in the most embarrassingly way possible, in her hometown.” Which is exactly what the queen of the cage did. Obliterate Correia in just 34 seconds in Rio de Janerio, Brazil. *Evil laugh*

All the fights leading up to the main event seemed to have had Brazilians, which is not uncommon in the UFC. But, all the Brazilians who entered the octagon that night had the crowd on their side. Until, Rowdy Ronda Rousey took the Octagon, walking out to “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett. The whole arena erupted for Rousey.

Looks like Correia got beat before she got beat. At least in my book.

Money talks, and bullish*t walks.

Ronda Rousey’s Next Victim: Bethe Correia

ufc-190-rousey

Ronda Rousey is undeniably the most dominant female in her sport. After her 14 second defeat of then undefeated Cat Zingano, Rousey has solidified her title as UFC’s Women’s Bantamweight Champion of the world. With an 11-0 record (9 by submission; 2 by TKO), she will yet again fight to defend her title belt in UFC 190.

Meet Bethe Correia, or as most people call her, “Pitbull.” She is currently ranked as the #7 women’s bantamweight fighter in the UFC. She sports an undefeated record of 9-0 with 3 of her wins coming in the UFC. This will be the third time Rousey will attempt to defend her title and undefeated record against another undefeated opponent.

Rousey has been known for her takedowns and submissions, whereas Correia is known for her explosive striking. Rousey has never taken a fight to a decision and her last three fights combined for a total of 96-seconds of fighting. Her most recent victory has come from a 14 second arm bar submission, the fastest UFC title bout victory, of Cat Zingano. Correia is looking to show the world Rousey’s weaknesses and defeat her no problem.

The bout is set to go down on August 1st in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the place where Rousey won her bronze Olympic medal in the ’08 games. This site holds even more personal to Correia, as she wants to win her first Top 15 fight in her hometown.

Although many wonder how Correia got this title shot, Ronda believes she will be just another challenger to prove unsuccessful. The initial press conference was full of trash talking and negative comments towards Rousey’s appearance. Rousey ended her part of the conference saying she’ll prove herself in the ring.

Be sure to order UFC 190 on Pay-Per-View on or before August 1st and watch the action yourself. Fights will begin at approximately 10PM with the main card following the lead off matchups.
