#2 Bethe Correia vs. Ronda Rousey

What was Correia thinking?

Bethe Correia was one of the most detestable women in all of sport leading up to her bout against champion Ronda Rousey, which is ironically one of the reasons why the fight was made in the first place. After defeating two of the supposed Four Horsewomen (who had an awful combined record), Correia was given the title shot simply due to the storyline.

Correia attempted to get under Rousey's skin throughout the entire build up to the fight, but it was never going to work and the seemingly unstoppable Champion made an example out of Correia that ensured nobody would ever question her abilities again.

Did someone say, Diaz? Oh dear.
