The champion also commented on her last fight, against Zingano cat, in which he won with an armbar in just 14 seconds. Even though the challenger was severely criticized for being hasty in the few moments of action, Rousey stated that her opponent, in fact, did nothing wrong. “She did everything right, she didn’t make any mistakes. That's the thing: there is no right answer for me. Does not exist. How would she guess that I would invent a new armbar? I got the headlock in from the side, and no one had ever seen an armbar like that before. She wouldn’t have been able to prepare for that coup because it didn’t exist until then,” she noted.

the fight between Ronda Rousey e Bethe Correia it will also be a duel between undefeated fighters in the octagon set up at the HSBC Arena, in Rio.
