Correia: Rousey is disrespectful of God
Bethe Correia: “‘Come to Jesus meeting’… That’s totally disrespectful. God, our creator. Keep that to yourself. We have to respect God. He’s above everything.”
Heeeere we goooo!
Only three of Ronda Rousey’s fights has lasted more than a minute, but the trash talk can last for months. Rousey told SI that the quick finishes were a gift, and that Correia is not on her nice list.
“This fight has gone pretty personal for me and when I finish fights quickly, that’s really me at my most merciful,” said Rousey as transcribed by Guilherme Cruz for MMAFighting.com. “My dad would call it a ‘come to Jesus meeting’. I’m going all the way down to Brazil to a ‘come to Jesus meeting’ with this chick. No, I’m not gonna end it quickly. But not because I can’t end it quickly, because I choose to.”
Correia was not impressed.
“She should respect God’s name,” Correia told MMAFighting.com. “‘Come to Jesus meeting’… That’s totally disrespectful. God, our creator. Keep that to yourself. We have to respect God. He’s above everything.”
“She’s saying she won’t be merciful with me. Don’t worry, I won’t be merciful either. But that means I’ll fight differently. I always fight showing my entire MMA game, and this time I will just knock her out quickly. Go back home, do your little movies. I’ll do her a favor and knock her out fast. That’s a promise I make to the Brazilian people.”
“I just hope she can handle this loss better than her last one and don’t do drugs again. I hope she can handle losing the title. That’s my only advice for her. Learn how to lose and don’t do drugs again. Your loss is coming. It’s August 1st in Brazil. You have no idea how tough I am.”
Ronda Rousey fights Bethe Correia at UFC 190 on August 1, 2015 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
