In an interview, Bethe fired the usual provocations at the champion and said that she hoped the blonde wouldn't kill herself after being defeated by her. “Under pressure, A Ronda is proving weak. When mom put pressure on her, she ran away from home. When she lost, she turned to drugs. She even suffered from binge eating. That's not a superhero. When she feels the pressure and sees that I'm prepared to fight her, I want to see what her reaction will be. She is not a good person, she needs to take care of herself. She has a lot of people around her, she is winning, but when she comes to her senses and sees that it's not all that, I don't even know what will happen. I hope she doesn’t commit suicide”, said the Brazilian, in an interview with the “Combate” channel website.

Bethe's words, however, touched on a great family tragedy experienced by Ronda, who lost her father at the age of eight, when he committed suicide. The mention of the fact made the blonde angry and she responded harshly, via message on social media. “You don’t make jokes or sell fights with suicide. My father will be with me the day he gives you the punishment you deserve”, Ronda published on her official profile on Twitter.
