After disposing Bethe Correia as expected, the question now is whom Ronda Rousey will face next.
As many had expected, Rousey made short work of the PitBull. Rousey unloaded a barrage of punches on Correia who eventually got knocked out in just 34 seconds of action in the first round.
The length of the fight is so far the longest compared to Rousey's previous fights, posing the question on who can truly stand up to the champion moving forward.
While everyone is still trying to hold their breath, two names have been mentioned as possible opponents. One is Cris "Cyborg" Justino.
However, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White wants Justino to fight at least once at the 135-pound class before she can get a shot at Rousey.
Justino currently fights at 155 pounds; for the match to materialize, she must trim down to the set catchweight unless White and Rousey agree for both fighters to face off at perhaps the 145 pounds mark.
Aside from that, Cyborg will have to make sure that she is drug-free. Back in 2011, Cyborg was tested positive for anabolic steroids after winning via knockout. Since that incident, Justino has undergone random drug testing and has so far passed them all.
Justino clarifies that the substance was a result of dietary supplements given by her former coach.
Aside from Justino, another potential opponent is Miesha Tate. Tate is no stranger to Rousey, someone she has fought twice already.
Tate drew the admiration of Rousey, particularly in their first fight when Tate made a risky move of resisting Rousey's armbar back in 2012. Such could have resulted in a serious injury.
The second meeting saw Rousey winning once more via submission with only 58 seconds into the third round. Despite the loss, Tate's feat gained her the distinction of lasting against Rousey past the first round.
So with two credible opponents to choose from, who will Rousey (and White) go for?
