Ronda Rousey took over the Internet this week—at least, in the sports corner of it. Even Cosmopolitan got in on the action. Rousey's opponent, Bethe Correia, has been along for the ride.
She has kept things interesting, to her credit. Correia fought her way into this match by beating two of Rousey's friends in Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler but ruffled feathers with a discussion of Rousey potentially killing herself with a loss. Correia regretted the comment, per Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com, but Rousey was having none of it.
Even in the fallout from that gaffe, Correia has remained unflappable, especially for someone who holds zero wins over top-10 opponents in the women's bantamweight division.
