Bethe Correia has defeated two of the “4 Horsewomen,” and now she wants a chance at their leader, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
In response, the 135-pound queen told MMAWeekly.com on Saturday that she would like to fulfill Correia’s wish, but she better keep winning if she wants a shot at world’s No. 1 women’s fighter.
“I just hope she doesn’t lose before I get a chance to beat her myself,” Rousey wrote to MMAWeekly.com via text message.
Correia fought on Saturday’s UFC 177 card, beating Shayna Baszler and earning a technical knockout in the second round of their main-card fight. Baszler is one of Rousey’s teammates and one of her closest friends.
In her previous fight, Correia beat another of Rousey’s teammates, Jessamyne Duke, which started Correia’s push to take out the champ’s team.
Rousey has recently been busy with her Hollywood responsibilities, shooting scenes for film roles in “Expendables 3,” “Entourage” and other movies. She currently has no fights scheduled, but most expect her fight towards the end of the year.
