Ronda Rousey (11-0) har tidigare sagt att när hon avslutar sina motståndare snabbt så är det för att hon är snäll, men hon har inga planer på att avsluta Bethe Correia (9-0) snabbt.
Rousey vill straffa Correia för allting hon har sagt, Rouseys mamma, AnnMaria de Mars, gillar inte sin dotters gameplan. Rouseys mamma vill inte att hennes dotter ska ta onödig skada, utan hon vill hellre se sin dotter avsluta Correia snabbt.
“She doesn’t want me to,” sa Rousey . “She chewed me out. She wants me to end it as quick as possible still. I promised her that I’m going to be fine. I’m not going to take any damage. If it goes any longer, it’s just because I’m punishing her more. I’m not going to purposely not finish her if I see something. But I will drag it out and make the finish more exciting.”
Stora framsteg har skett för kvinnor inom sport och Rousey är stolt över att ha kunnat bidra till det. Rousey har bland annat varit med på framsidor på tidningar och vunnit priser på ESPY, men Rousey förklarar att hon inte kunnat njuta av det ännu, utan kommer kunna göra det efter att hon vinner över Correia.
“I think revolution is the right word,”sa Rousey om attityden mot kvinnor inom sport. “I do believe there’s a cultural revolution happening. I’m so proud to be one little part of it. But the times for reflection, they’re few and far between. After the ESPYs I had to go right home and make my training camp. I really was not allowing myself to enjoy it until after I beat Bethe. Then I’ll have one week to kind of revel in everything, and then I kind of have to reset and start the cycle over again and get ready to beat Miesha.”
“There are little pockets where I can really revel and appreciate everything, and then I have to really mentally put myself back in the space where, ‘OK, things are awesome. Cool things have been done. There’s more things to do.’ And then start breaking the next goal into pieces and taking care of every one of those pieces along the way. The last piece of this challenge is that I’m going to beat Bethe in the most fantastic and entertaining way possible, and then I can think about how great things are. Then I can think about the next step.”
