Ronda Rousey insists that the fight he will do in front of Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in August, it became personal. The champion of the bantamweight division still hasn't digested some of the provocations made by the Brazilian, especially when she touched on a delicate subject from the North American's past.

Bethe Pitbull: 'I'm going to knock Ronda out, show her she's a fake'

In May, Bethe joked and told Ronda “not to commit suicide” after the fight between the two, and the champion lost her father in this way when she was a child. The Brazilian then said that she did not know about the episode and sent an apology, which the North American apparently did not accept.

“No, I don’t buy that. I don't believe she knows the most obscure facts about my life, but she didn't know one of the most significant events that ever happened to me. I don't know if I'm more offended by what she said or by the apology she asked for. She didn't even apologize: she just said she was humble enough to ask for forgiveness... That's not apologizing. This fight became something extremely personal for me and I never wanted to hit someone so much in my life. I’m not going to end the fight quickly – I want to make sure she remembers every second of that day”, said the champion, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”.

the fight between Ronda Rousey e Bethe Correia will headline UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro.
