UFC 190: ROUSEY vs. CORREIA tickets on sale now
Jun 14, 2015 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Rio de Janeiro – Named the most dominant athlete
on the planet, undefeated UFC® women’s bantamweight champion and
former U.S. Olympic medalist Ronda
Rousey goes head-to-head with surging contender No. 7 Bethe
Correia on Saturday, August 1 when the Octagon® returns to the
HSBC Arena in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
Fresh off of a 14 second highlight reel finish over top contender Cat Zingano at UFC® 184 in February, Rousey (11-0, fighting out of Venice, Calif.) looks to cement her legacy as one of the most revered champions in mixed martial arts, as she goes for a sixth straight title defense against rival Correia on the challenger’s home turf in Brazil.
Bad blood ensued after Correia (9-0, fighting out of Campina
Grande, Paraiba, Brazil) defeated two members of ‘The Four
Horsewomen’, Rousey’s closest friends and training partners, as
part of her campaign for the UFC women’s bantamweight title. “The
Pitbull” intends to shock the world and cross another name off her
list by dethroning the champion and bringing another world title
back to Brazil.
After their legendary PRIDE bout in 2005, The Ultimate Fighter® Brazil coaches Shogun Rua (22-10, fighting out of Curitiba, Brazil) and Rogerio Nogueira (21-6, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) co-headline UFC® 190 in a rematch over a decade in the making.
Additional bouts include:
Rafael Cavalcante (12-5-1, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) collides with former two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler Patrick Cummins (7-2, fighting out of Dana Point, Calif.) in a light heavyweight battle.
Brazilian-born Antonio Silva (18-7-1, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla.) welcomes heavy-hitting Soa Palelei (22-4, fighting out of Perth, Australia), who has 19 knockout victories to his credit.
Sixth-ranked welterweight Demian Maia (20-6, fighting out of Sao Paulo, Brazil) hopes to make it three victories in a row when he meets12th-ranked Neil Magny (15-4, fighting out of Denver, Colo.), a winner of seven straight.
Plus, The Ultimate Fighter Brazil Season 3 winner Warlley Alves (9-0, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) puts his spotless record on the line against The Ultimate Fighter: Nations alumnus Nordine Taleb (11-2, fighting out of Montreal, Canada) in a 170-pound bout.
