Ronda Rousey UFC 190 News, Update: Beth Correia Will 'Leave That Arena Embarrassed,' Says MMA Champ
Ronda Rousey, the UFC Women's current bantamweight champion, is slated to go up against challenger Beth Correia at the upcoming UFC 190 which as reported, will be held at the latter's home, Brazil, this August 1, 2015.
Aside from the fact that this would be the first time for the 28-year-old undefeated MMA star to fight in an enemy territory, the scheduled bout will also be a personal affair.
Speaking during a press conference, Rousey said the timing has never been so perfect as she opted to defeat Correia in her own home.

"My dad had a great saying when someone needed to be shown what's up," the 2008 Beijing Olympics Bronze medalist said. "He would say that this person needs to have a 'come to Jesus' meeting. Beth is going to have her own 'come to Jesus' meeting in Brazil."
"I don't just want to defeat her. I want her to leave that arena embarrassed. And the best way to do it is to come here and to beat her in her own backyard," she added.
The Rousey-Correia rivalry sparked following the defeat of two of Rousey's fellow "Horsewomen," Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler, last year.
"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," the mixed martial artist reiterated to Jay Mohr Sports.
"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," Correia meanwhile replied in a separate interview.
