On Episode 4 of UFC 190 Embedded, bantamweight challenger Bethe Correia gives her theory as to why Ronda Rousey is predicting their fight will go longer than the usual "Rowdy" bout, and the champ is warmly and emotionally received by fans in what could have just as easily been hostile territory. Also, heavyweight Stefan Struve talks about how he's always looked up to his opponent Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira, but also how he plans to hurt him on fight night.
Right before their excellent staredown (not to be missed), Correia alleged that Rousey is in Brazil more to live the good life than to grind it out in a hard fight. "Ronda, like most Americans, only comes to Brazil for vacation," she said.
"She comes here to drink caipirinha, go to the beach and dance at Carnival. There is no girl who deserves this title more than me. I don't take bullsh** from anyone. I got into MMA to be a champion, to be the best in the world."
