Bethe Correia (9-0) kommer att utmana Ronda Rousey (11-0) om bantamviktstiteln på UFC 190 och Correia har en gameplan som hon tror kommer att göra att hon kommer att vara den nya bantamviktsmästaren på lördag.
Correias plan är att hålla matchen stående och boxas med Rousey och Correia är inte orolig för någonting som Rousey kommer att komma med.
“They’ve built her up to be this invincible fighter from the United States that no one is going to be able to beat,” Correia, the 32-year-old Brazilian challenger, tells USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie through an interpreter. “I’m going to show that’s a farce, and I’m going to beat her.”
“I believe in myself,” sa Correia. “I’m going to go in there and beat her. I think I can overcome all her strong points. Her weaknesses? I’m not even worried about that. I know what I need to do in there. She doesn’t trade punches. In 11 fights, she’s never really shown her boxing, so I’m going to go in there and box with her.”
Fabricio Werdum (20-5) tror att Correia har en chans att vinna på grund av hennes självförtroende.
“Rousey is the favorite, and everyone knows her as the best in the world, but Correia can win,” Werdum says. “It’s about confidence. The confidence is very important. If you believe in yourself, there is always the chance to win.”
Correia oroar sig inte för Rouseys plan att dra ut på matchen och straffa Correia, utan Correia menar att Rousey vet att hon inte kommer kunna avsluta Correia.
“She knows she’s not going to be able to finish me, so that’s what she’s saying,”sa Correia. “That’s her justifiable way of saying she’s not going to be able to finish me early. She knows she’s not going to be able to finish me, so I’ll finish her.”
“I was born to do this,”sa Correia. “I’ve had to challenge the whole world to be an MMA fighter, and I got to this point. I have a mission, and I know exactly what I need to do.”
