Rousey: Correia ‘could be a very interesting fight for me’
Ronda Rousey: “I think Shayna…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.”
At this past weekend’s UFC 172, Bethe Correia won her second fighg in the UFC, defeating Jessamyne Duke by decision. After the bout, Correia made a gesture that she just had just defeated the first of the ‘four horsewomen’, a group of fighters led by Ronda Rousey.
The women’s divisions is still pretty small and another win could earn Correia at shot at champion Ronda Rousey, a matchup that the champ is definitely interested in:
This chick is undefeated, Rousey said. 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. That’s Shayna’s storyline right now. And either she beats [Correia] and moves on and has a bigger name, or it moves on to be my storyline.
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, Rousey said. It’s a huge win for Shayna, or it’s a huge setup for a fight.
If Miesha Tate can get a title shot and she hadn’t even won a single match in the UFC, this chick who’s undefeated and beat two of my friends could be a very interesting fight for me.
