Ronda Rousey could be the most feared woman in the world right now, but when she enters the octagon on Saturday (Sunday, Manila time), she will be coming in as an unwanted visitor.
Rousey stakes her UFC Bantamweight title against hometown favorite Bethe Correia in a battle between two undefeated fighters in UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a day before the two lock horns, things got heated in the weigh-in.
Correia went right in front of Rousey’s face and told the champion in Portuguese, “I’ll beat you up.”
“I’ll put my hand in your face. I will knock you out,” she added as a stoic Rousey looked on.
But Rousey did not back down, as she said, “I’m going to give Bethe her most devastating loss.”

Rousey (11-0) tipped the scale at 135 pounds, as Correia (9-0) was a shade lighter at 134 pounds.
Also in the Rio fightcard will be the light heavyweight duel between former PRIDE rivals Mauricio Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, both of whom tipped the scales at 206 pounds. IDL
