Ronda Rousey returns to action this Saturday at UFC 190 in Brazil. The bantamweight champion squares off against No. 7-ranked contender Bethe Correia.
Correia talked herself into this fight. She defeated Jessamyn Duke, a friend of Rousey’s, and immediately began calling out the champion. Instead, she was pitted against another friend of Rousey’s, Shayna Baszler, resulting in another win for Correia.
After Rousey’s swift victories over Alexis Davis and Cat Zingano, there were not many options, and so the brash Brazilian got her shot at gold.
Trash-talking pays off.
Not many believe Correia has a shot, as Rousey is currently a minus-1,400 favorite. But does Correia have a chance to stun the world? That’s what we will look at in the head-to-toe breakdown of UFC 190’s main event.
