UFC 190: Ronda Rousey, Bethe Correia Headline Aug. 1 Showdown In Rio

On August 1, Bethe Correia gets what she’s wanted. After calling out Ronda Rousey and defeating two of her teammates, Brazil’s unbeaten “Pitbull” will challenge Rousey for the UFC women’s bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 190 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

UFC President Dana White made the announcement Friday in Rio.

Also announced for the card will be a rematch of one of the greatest fights in PRIDE history, as Mauricio “Shogun” Rua battles Rogerio Nogueira in a light heavyweight bout fans have demanded.

Considered by many to be the most dominant champion in UFC history, the unbeaten Rousey has established that reputation with five successful defenses of her title, the last three over Sara McMann, Alexis Davis and Cat Zingano taking a combined 96 seconds.
