If you didn’t manage to catch UFC 190 with Ronda Rousey completely knocking Bethe Correia the f*ck out in 34 seconds, I’m here to help you. Let’s start with a recap.

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 Jul 30, 2015 at 3:14pm PDT

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.

Entourage was… Ehhh

After the release of the new Entourage movie, the most devoted fans of the show and critics were extremely (wait for it) negative with their responses and feeling disappointed.

Seriously?! I mean, okay, the movie wasn’t mind blowing, but it wasn’t horrendous people.

The movie received only a 30% on the tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes, however, 75% of viewers said that they “liked it.”

Entourage fans will enjoy the fact that all major characters are back together including Adrian Grenier as pretty boy actor turned director Vince, Jeremy Piven as super star Hollywood agent Ari Gold, and of course the beautiful Emmanuelle Chiriqui as Sloan (one of my first girl crushes).

What they might not find entertaining (or intelligently written) is the fact that there are over 50 cameo appearances by celebrities in the film. Billy Bob Thornton plays Larsen McCredle the financer of the film and his son is Joel Osment (YES, the creepy little kid from “The Sixth Sense”). The men are giving the guys a hard time about the film “Hyde”, the movie Vince is starring in and directing with the oversight of Ari Gold as the studio-head.

And Ronda Rousey’s appearance! How could we forget that. Ugh, we just love her. If you don’t want to see it, you should at least go for her.

As an Entourage fan, it’s nice to see that after all this time, their bonds remain the same, but some of their ambitions have changed as well as Turtles weight! Okay skinny mini, we see you grinding!

My Opinion: Definitely worth the ticket price to munch on some delicious movie theater popcorn, and wish you were just another one in the Entourage living it up in Hollywood. Because really, what else do you peasants have planned for this weekend?

That’s what we thought. Get out there and go see it.

BONUS: Here are some of the best Entourage quotes and catch phrases of all time****

1. “Let’s hug it out.”- Ari Gold
2. “I’ve been working steady for the past 12 years, minus the last three.”- Johnny Drama
3. “Call me Helen Keller, because I’m a f*cking miracle worker!”- Ari Gold
4. “Nobody appreciates their girlfriend until they get herpes from the next broad.”- Johnny Drama
5. Got MILF?”- Ari Gold
6. “Nobody’s happy in this town unless their losers, look at me I’m miserable and I’m filthy rich.”- Ari Gold
7. “I got into this business so I didn’t have to work.”- Vincent Chase
8. “I would get banged in the ass for an Oscar.”- Johnny Drama

Rowdy Ronda Rousey. This girl is a straight baddie. How could anyone forget when Rousey defeated Cat Zingano with an arm bar in 14 seconds? The fastest time in UFC Championship history! UHM WHAT! She is the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion.

2. Danica Patrick

Well obviously this list wouldn’t be complete with Ms. Patrick and her sexy Go Daddy commercials! I mean, she’s a race car driver and a model. Need I say more? She is the most successful woman in American open-wheel racing. In 2013, Patrick was the first woman NASCAR driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pole. She got some disappointing news recently, when she was not chosen to be driving in F1 for the new Gene Haas team in 2016. It’s okay Danica, TCD still loves you!

1. Alex Morgan

Numero UNO, Alex Morgan. She’s hot af and she kicks ass. You probably remember Morgan from the Olympic games in London in 2012. She was a part of the Women’s soccer team that took the gold. Morgan was the number one draft pick in 2011 and already has five years of international experience. She is on the U.S. national team for this upcoming World Cup, but her playing time is unsure due to a bruised bone in her left knee. But seriously look at that photo. Smoking hot.

There you have it. These women are beautiful, talented and can kick some serious ass. Enough said.

Ronda Rousey’s Next Victim: Bethe Correia

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 1^st 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 1^st and watch the action yourself. Fights will begin at approximately 10PM with the main card following the lead off matchups.
