Enligt Ronda Rousey skulle en vinst mot Bethe Coerreia på dennes hemmaplan i Brasilien vara det slutgiltiga som behövs för att bevisa att hon verkligen är den absolut bästa kvinnliga MMA-fightern.
Correia står med 3-0 i UFC med vinster över två av Rouseys lagkamrater, Jessamyn Duke och Shayna Baszler. Att slåss om titeln på hemmaplan skulle innebära en hel del press för henne, något som hon faktiskt vill ha.
Det här berättar Correia, via :MMAFighting:
It would be a dream come true to fight her in Brazil because I want to bring the title to Brazil. I’m a patriot woman and I love to fight against foreigners, especially against Americans. I love to represent Brazil. I’m motivated by pressure and responsibility, I fight better this way, and I want to bring the UFC title to my country. It’s going to be wonderful.
I beat her little friends in the United States, one of them in her hometown, so it’s a chance for Ronda to come try to avenge her losses. Ronda got pissed that I beat them in front of her. I hope Ronda was a good friend, that she supported her friends when they lost to me, because she will need a shoulder to cry on after I beat her.
I en intervju som gjordes av ”Jay Mohr Sports” i veckan berättade Rousey att hon skulle ge Correia fingret när de väl möts, något som brasilianskan hävdar är en dålig idé.
Det här berättar Rousey:
I’m going to beat this chick at some point and I’m going to put a finger down and you should be not surprised which finger is left standing for her.
She said she wants to teach me a lesson in Brazil, that she’s going to put a finger in my face – and we all know which finger. But I’ll tell you one thing. She is dealing with a woman with attitude this time. I’m not Miesha Tate, who only laughed when she did that. If she comes with that, I will break her finger. I won’t let her do to me what she did to Miesha Tate. Don’t come to my country putting your finger in my face or you’re getting into trouble.
Rousey behövde sammanlagt 96 sekunder för att vinna mot sina tre senaste motsåndare i UFC. Correia erkänner att det är imponerande, men menar samtidigt tt det berodde på dålig taktik från motståndarna än att Rouseys färdigheter.
Correia känner sig säker på att hon blir den som kommer att ta titeln från Rousey:
Ronda is doing what she does best, but I also like to watch and study her opponents. I don’t focus only on Ronda, but also on what the other girls are doing wrong, which leads to Ronda winning so fast. It’s not only about Ronda’s efficiency, but her opponents’ mistakes as well. They rush guns blazing against Ronda, and that helps her use her judo. Or they just stand back, afraid. They all made mistakes against her. I know how to stop her. I won’t make the same mistakes.
I don’t think any men or women did what I’m doing to get a title fight in the UFC. I’m beating everyone they put in front of me, I’m calling her out. I created a story in the UFC. The champion wants to fight me. I want to fight her. I’m just waiting for the UFC to send me the date and location, and you will see what’s about to happen.
