UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is set to make her next title defense against Bethe Correia in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was supposed to be “enemy territory” but the reception for Rousey is almost akin to The Beatles’ popularity when they first reached American shores. The UFC 190 co-main is a light heavyweight rematch between PRIDE legends Mauricio Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
