UFC 190 Extended Preview: Ronda Rousey vs. Bethe Correia
The UFC has been quite busy as of late with a multitude of fights going down, and although we have a card next week, the promotion’s next pay-per-view isn’t for a few weeks. UFC 190 is set to go down on August 1, 2015 featuring a bad blood fueled grudge match in the main event between reining bantamweight queen “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey and undefeated Brazilian Bethe “Pitbull” Correia.
It seems as if many of Rousey’s bouts include some sort of tension in the lead up, but the champion would be the first to admit that this fight has become personal. It all started when the “Pitbull” took out two of the “Rowdy” one’s teammates, and began to take brash shots at the champion.
Although it looked to be the usual pre-fight hype, Correia took it to the next level when she insulted Rousey’s family, awakening a sleeping monster in the process. The “Rowdy” one has gone on to say that she doesn’t even want another quick finish, she wants to brutally beat the Brazilian.
She has also made the decision to take on Correia in the “Pitbull’s” home of Brazil. The two ladies clearly have some beef to settle, and it will all come to fruition in a few weeks.
Can Correia offer any challenge, or will it be another dominant performance for the champion?
