Bethe Correia, an undefeated Brazilian contender, has made it quite known that she wanted to face Ronda Rousey, current bantamweight champion of the UFC women's division, as well as three others of Rousey's "four horsewomen" namely Jessamyn Duke, Shayna Baszler and Marina Shafir.
After Correia defeated Jessamyn Duke at UFC 172 in Baltimore, she held up four fingers then rolled down one to show that she plans to beat all four of the crew, including Rousey herself. Correia now has record of 2-0 in the UFC, while Duke is 1-1, according to a report by MMA Junkie .
According to Rousey, it was smart for Correia to increase the crowd anticipation by addressing her group. She described the Brazilian's summons as a "perfect WWE storyline". Since Shafir is yet to join the UFC, Rousey indicated that Baszler was quick to volunteer to face Correia next. Rousey is 3-0 in the UFC. In all MMA matches, Rousey is 9-0 while Correia is 8-0. Rousey shared that she was confident that Baszler can end Correia's winning streak. Should the worst happen, the champion said it would be sensible to attempt to take the title from her.
Talking about Baszler's chances of winning over Correia "The Pitbull", "I think Shayna can f***ing handle it and will shove this s**t in this girl's face, but there's no lose in this situation. It's a huge win for Shayna, or it's a huge setup for a fight."
According to Bleacher Report, Rousey said, "This chick is undefeated. She's fighting Shayna, so Shayna's UFC debut is either going to be a huge win for Shayna or this girl is going to be still undefeated, and I'm going to have a huge title fight because this girl is going to have fought both of my girls and is coming after me. That's a storyline..."
Rousey is set to fight Alexis Davis at UFC 175 on July 5, 2014. Davis is also 3-0 in the UFC.
