After the brutal KO that happened in just 34 seconds, Ronda Rousey screamed at Bethe Correia who was getting up and barely conscious. The UFC bantamweight revealed what she said during the press conference, and apparently she used Correia’s smack talk against her immediately after the knockout.
“I said the exact same thing she was saying to me at the weigh-ins when she was screaming in my face,” Rousey said.
“She was saying ‘don’t cry’, so I turned around to her after I knocked her out and I said ‘don’t cry’.”

After Bethe went too far with her trash talkduring the lead up, Rousey admits that it was a bout that she took really personally. Following the statement win along with a few taunts after though, Rousey says that Correia chapter is over and doesn’t plan on revisiting it again.
“I consider the matter settled,” she said. “I’m not going to have to think about her ever again after this day and I’m sure she’ll have to think about me plenty. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.”
