Bethe Correia gained worldwide fame in MMA by challenging Ronda Rousey at UFC 190, in August 2015, and seems to have enjoyed the “loudmouth” style of arranging fights. Now, even with a commitment scheduled against Jessica Eye at UFC 203, an event that will take place this Saturday (10), in Cleveland (USA), she already has another name in mind: the Brazilian Chris Cyborg.

“Of course I’m interested in facing her. I don't see any disadvantages, she's not that 'alien' to be afraid of and run away scared. I would accept it and be happy to fight her. If the UFC calls me after UFC 203, I would definitely go. I don't like facing Brazilians, but I would be proud to face her. I know I'm capable of beating her, I don't see her as invincible. I watch his fights and I can see ways to win,” she told the website 'MMA Fighting' (USA).

Asked if the weight would be a problem, since Cyborg, Invicta FC's featherweight champion, has already stated that in Ultimate she only performs at catchweight, Bethe said that she sees no problems in moving up a category, and would accept the conditions proposed by her eventual opponent. : “I weigh a little over 145 pounds (65 kg). I would make a catchweight (combined weight) like she is doing in the UFC, at 140 pounds (63 kg). I would do it, no problem.”

Just like Correia, Chris Cyborg There is also a fight scheduled. She faces Lina Lansberg in the main fight of UFC Fight Night 95, which will take place on the 24th, in Brasília.
