Ronda Rousey versus Bethe Correia will be the main card of UFC 190.
Yahoo Sports reported that Bethe Correia has long been looking forward to get a chance to a fight with the undefeated women's bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey, and will finally have her wish.
Globo, a media outlet in Brazil, reported on March 19, 2015 that the Rousey-Correia fight will be announced by the UFC soon as the highlight of UFC 190, which will happen at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on August 1.
Fox Sports reported that Rousey is deemed the best pound-for-pound female fighter in the UFC, having beaten Cat Zingano previously in only 14 seconds which set a new record. The fight in August will be good for Rousey in terms of timing since the 135-pounder is still busy making movies. She is slated to appear in "Furious 7" and "Entourage." She is also set to star in a movie for the first time in "Mile 22." Rousey has an undefeated MMA record of 11-0.
Correia is also undefeated with a record of 9-0 (3-0 in the UFC). She last won against Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke.
Rousey said about Correia in a report by MMA Fighting, "That's what I want to do. I want to go and fight her in Brazil and beat her in her hometown. That would be the best way I could really feel like I've vindicated my friends, to go to her hometown and beat her in her hometown and be total Rocky IV on it."
Correia answered, "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."
Bleacher Report wrote that Correia is on a quest to beat all "Four Horsewomen," Rousey's group, with her upcoming opponent at the helm. Baszler and Duke are two women on that team and Correia wanted to beat each one until she finally reaches Rousey. Correia has clearly gotten the attention of the champion, and the two will finally settle the score in August.
