Ronda Rousey is known for making incredibly quick work of her opponents, but it sounds like she wants to beat Bethe Correia up a bit before putting her out of her misery.
During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night, Rousey was asked why she chose to fight Correia in Bethe’s home country of Brazil. The UFC women’s bantamweight champion said her goal is to embarrass Correia as much as she can.
“I just wanted to beat her in the most devastatingly embarrassing way possible,” I’m not afraid to let go of the hometown advantage. She’s much more than a hometown advantage away from beating me.”
Rousey later said that she is more inclined to end the fight quickly if she likes her opponent.
“If I make the fight fast, that means I like you,” she explained. “That’s me at my most merciful. With this next chick that I don’t like, it’s not going to be like that. She’s going to look different walking out than she did walking in.”
Rousey’s last two fights lasted a combined 30 seconds. That’s right, combined. She must really, really like Cat Zingano and Alexis Davis.
Rousey obviously despises Correia for reasons including — but not limited to — some insensitive comments Correia made about suicide. In reality, we know Rousey would be just as happy to slap an arm bar on Correia and make her tap out in 20 seconds.
