After falling flat on her face at the fists of Ronda Rousey, Bethe Correia wants a rematch with the so-called “Most Dangerous Unarmed Woman on the Planet.”

Correia took insult when Rousey’s trainer, Gene LeBell, told MMA Hour how the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion wasn’t satisfied with her performance in UFC 190 when she knocked out the Brazilian challenger in just 34 seconds.

Yahoo Sports posted the excerpt of the LeBell interview.

“She wanted to beat this gal up, and she said, ‘I wasn’t through, I wanted to break something, an arm or a leg or neck’,” LeBell said. “But John McCarthy broke it up because she was unconscious.”

Correia posted on Instagram how she was offended with LeBell’s statements saying nobody should ever joke about death.

“I was extremely criticized and judged by lack of respect due to a bad interpretation of the current champ,” Correia said on Instagram.

“All that time I saw the real face of the current champ trying to pose as a saint while she always said publicly that she wanted to make me ‘have a meeting with Jesus’ which was her true intention. The media never gave that much coverage. I’d never fight anyone with the intention to kill, break their neck which is something there’s no return from. I wouldn’t joke about it, because wanting to kill someone is not caring about the pain their family would feel! So I tell her, I’m here and I’ll fight for a rematch in 2016, stronger, more mature, we’ll see each other again. I wanted to fight you and I got it. I’ll get that chance again and I’ll have my revenge at the right time!”
