Ideally, it wouldn't take Ronda Rousey much time to dispose of her opponent. It would normally be over in less than a minute more or less.
However, Rousey plans to do something different when she faces Brazilian Bethe Corriea on August 1 at UFC 190 as the tiff has become personal for the reigning UFC Women's Bantamweight champion.
Apparently Rousey still hasn't gotten over that below the belt tweet where Correia made brash comments over at a Brazilian website. While trash-talking is only common in these scenarios, Correia touched on something that really ticked off Rousey.
""There are a lot of people around her, because she is winning, when she realizes she is not all that, I don't even know what could happen. I hope she doesn't commit suicide" Correia said via Combate.
Unknown to Correia, Rousey's father died of suicide when she was just 8 years old. Rousey was very close to her father.
After Rousey's tweet, Correia did try to apologize for the insensitive remarks. Correia seemed to be sincere but it doesn't change the fact that she ignited something in Rousey which has sparked something within which will only be seen in the Octagon.
Rousey is undefeated at 11-0 and is an obvious favorite to prevail over Correia. She last fought Cat Zingano whom she defeated in only 14 seconds. But make no mistake about it. Rousey is entering UFC 190 to inflict pain.
"And this will not be over quickly. I will make sure you feel every moment of the lesson I'm going to teach you," Rousey said via the Washington Post.
Correia on the other hand has made a good account of herself, taking down some of Rousey's Four Horsewomen, namely Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler. Those victories actually gained the admiration of Rousey up until those disrespectful comments came into play.
