Ronda Rousey needs a break sometimes and so she did over in Brazil.
After handily defeating Bethe Correia at UFC 190, the reigning UFC Women's bantamweight champion took some time off together with another UFC fighter, Jose Aldo, watching the match between Rio Flamengo and Santos at the famous Maracana stadium.
It was obvious who Rousey was rooting for, wearing a uniform of Rio Flamengo. A photo showing Rousey wearing the uniform was posted via Twitter by Aldo, announcing Rousey's presence via social media.
Considering her busy schedule, such was a fitting respite for Rousey who continues to be undefeated in 12 fights.
To recall, her match with Correia was extra special thanks to an irresponsible tweet that the PitBull made months before the actual match held last weekend.
For the benefit of those who are not familiar with what had transpired, Correia made a suicide tweet that ticked off Rousey since the UFC women's champion lost his dad to suicide when he was still little.
While Correia did apologize for it, Rousey was not buying it. In fact, she said that the apology lacked the sincerity.
Olha quem esta aqui e já virou @Flamengo? @RondaRousey!!! Welcome to @Maracana! pic.twitter.com/Psm9iRqO7L
— Jose Aldo Junior (@josealdojunior) August 2, 2015 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Rousey had promised a long night for Correia, veering away from her usual fast finishes on her foes. Correia lasted 34 seconds with Rousey after the reigning champion unleashed a flurry of punches which eventually knocked out her Brazilian opponent.
With all that over and done with, it remains to be seen who Rousey will face next. There is talk that she could face Cris Justino and even Miesha Tate, someone she has fought before and beaten.
A fight with Justino will require a compromise on the catchweight while Tate holds the distinction of lasting longer against Rousey in their second meeting. To date, there are still no official plans on who Rousey will fight next.
