Ronda Rousey will leave UFC belt at Flavio Canto’s judo school in Rio de Janeiro

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Instituto Reação will receive another big gift on Tuesday.

A judo school and social project owned by Olympic bronze medalist Flavio Canto, that was surprised with a $30,000 check from UFC star Ronda Rousey in March, will be the home for "Rowdy’s" belt.

Rousey, who promised to leave her championship belt in a special place in Brazil after beating Bethe Correia at UFC 190, will deliver the gift on Tuesday afternoon, three days after stopping "Pitbull" in 34 seconds at the HSBC Arena, MMAFighting.com has learned.
