Undefeated UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey defends her title against the also-undefeated Bethe Correia. Rousey asked for this fight to take place in Brazil on Correia's home turf to make a statement about her personal issues against Correia after Correia defeated two of Rousey's teammates and made disparaging remarks against Rousey. Will the Mike Tyson of MMA have another gif-length dominating performance, or could the Pit Bull be the one to dethrone Ronda Rousey?
