Bethe Correia (9-1) har utnämnt Miesha Tate (17-5) till sin andra stora rival och Correia hoppas på att kunna besegra Tate via KO om en match mellan dom två skulle ske.
Correia förklarar att det är Tates missnöje över att inte ha fått en tredje titelchans mot Ronda Rousey (12-1), som gjort att Tate har tagit ut sin frustration över Correia.
”I woke up and there’s a tweet from Miesha Tate saying I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree and I thought to myself, Miesha is probably too bored, has nothing to do in her personal life and career, and she’s trying to throw her frustration into someone else. Ever since she was sidelined by the UFC and realized she won’t be fighting for the tile anytime soon, she lost her mind.”
Tate pratade om eventuell pensionering för ett tag sen och Correia menar att hon gärna hjälper Tate att pensionera sig.
”She said she’s so pissed off she’s willing to retire. Honestly, it was one of the most ridiculous things someone ever did in the UFC to bitch about a business decision by the promotion. Someone that really wants to make a career in MMA and fight for a title would never talk about retirement. You have to be hungry no matter what.”
”The UFC is keeping her in the sidelines. If they want me to go in there and retire Miesha, I will do my best to show the world this rookie has some knockout power and retire her. I will make your wish come true, Miesha. I can do this for you.”
