När det blev klart att Miesha Tate (17-5) inte skulle möta Ronda Rousey (12-0) var Bethe Correia (9-1) snabb med att utttycka sin önskan om att få möta Tate.
Correia menar att hon ger igen för Tates elaka kommentarer då Correia förlorade mot Rousey.
”She mocked me when I lost because she thought she would be fighting Ronda, so I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to mock her back,”berättade Correia för MMAFighting.com. ”She called me rookie, but always wanted to fight me, campaigned on Twitter in the past. Who wants to fight a rookie? It would be terrible to get beat up by a rookie.”
Enligt Correia gratulerade Dana White henne och tackade henne för det mediajobb hon gjort inför matchen.
”When the fight was over, I asked Dana to fight a top 5 next,” she said. ”He congratulated me for the job I did because we got a good media for the fight, and the good thing is that everything I did, I did from the bottom of my heart. He said he would give me this fight [against a top 5]. Wallid (Ismail) is negotiating my next fight now.”
Correia säger att hon verkligen ogillar Tate och kommer vilja ha en stående match mot Tate.
”I really want to fight Tate because we have something unfinished for a long time,” Correia said. ”I hate Ronda, and after her the one I dislike the most is Tate. I have unfinished things with her.”
”I would go in there to trade punches with her,” she said, ”but she would want to grapple with me.”
