“I know I made some mistakes”, he analyzed. “My posture could have been a little better. I expected her to put her hands in front of me and I ended up getting hit in the eye, so I knew what was going to happen. I was keeping my head back a lot, anticipating, and I shouldn't have done that”, said the fighter, in an interview with the official UFC website.

Someone who also saw Rousey's mistakes was the fighter's mother, AnnMaria de Mars, who has been a perfectionist with her daughter's performances since her judo days. “My mother was in the corner, looking at me, because I specifically wanted to knock her out. I didn't want to say it, but it was what I wanted. So, it worked for me. I still won, mom! You can’t be mad at me”, joked the champion.

Ronda Rousey knocked out Bethe Correia in the main fight of UFC 190. It was the athlete's 12th victory in 12 fights in professional MMA, being her sixth in Ultimate.
