Ronda Rousey (12-0) besegrade Bethe Correia (9-1) via KO efter 34 sekunder på UFC 190, men Correias tränare Patricio Freire (24-2)tror att en rematch mellan dom två skulle sluta helt annorlunda.
Enligt Freire har Correia återhämtat sig efter förlusten och pratar redan om att gå match igen.
“Bethe is doing really well; she has a very strong mind and is already talking about fighting someone,” sa Freire. “She’s ready to brawl. What happened to her in the fight could have happened to anyone. When a punch lands in the right spot, that’s all it takes for them to go down. It can happen to anyone in the sport. For a champion, for a challenger, for a top fighter or not – one big punch can be a knockout.”
Freire vill inte att Correia ska få en rematch på en gång, utan vill hellre att hon ska vinna ett par matcher innan hon kan möta Rousey igen.
“A rematch right now wouldn’t be a good idea; I would prefer to see her fight once or twice more than I’m sure the fight would be completely different,” sa Freire. “That exchange, Ronda’s hand connected well. It could have been Bethe, she hits pretty hard. She could have been the one connecting the KO punch and could be the champion right now. Ronda got there first. I believe with a little more time a rematch would be very different.”
