The Brazilian challenge Beth Pitbull seems to have instigated the champion Ronda Rousey. Still in the octagon, right after beating another of Rousey's training partners, Bethe called the blonde to a fight and piqued her interest. According to president Dana White, Ronda wanted Bethe to be her next challenger, but the request does not fit with the organization's plans, which sees other names ahead of the native of Paraíba in the race for the belt.

“You know Ronda. As soon as Bethe started talking she texted me and said, 'I want this fight, I want to beat this girl before someone else does.' I replied: 'Calm down, girl, you still have other things to do'. So we'll see what will happen. Ronda wants this fight, so let’s see how things go”, said White, during the UFC 177 press conference, last Saturday (30). The leader also mentioned Zingano cat as the main candidate to challenge Ronda, if she beats the Brazilian Amanda nunes, with whom he will fight on September 27th.
