If recent reports from Brazilian outlet Tatame (h/t MMAJunkie) are true, we’ll see UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey head to Brazil to defend her title on August 1 against Bethe Correia in the main event of UFC 190. Rousey is almost certainly the UFC’s biggest star. Thus far, the quick nature of her fights has […]
