In the lead up to their August 1st fight, Ronda Rousey’s opponent Bethe Correia took some below the belt shots at Ronda and her family.

“I want to knock her out, show to everyone that she is a lie,” . “She wants to stand up with me, let’s see. I want to humiliate her and show the world she has no MMA. She is focused on movies, books…

“Under pressure, she is proving weak. When her mom put pressure on her, she ran away from home. When she lost, it was because of drugs. That’s not a superhero. She is not mentally healthy; she needs to take care of herself. She is winning, so everybody is around her cheering her up, but when she realizes she is not everything that she believes she is, I don’t know what might happen. I hope she does not kill herself later on (laughs).”

Ronda felt that Correia was referencing her father’s suicide and immediately called her out on Twitter.

“”

Correia apologized for the remark by pleading ignorance but Rousey isn’t buying it.

It was an insult to my intelligence. She was citing all these other obscure events that happened in my life that are not well known and then claiming ignorance on the most formative event in my entire life. I’m not sure if I’m more offended by what she said or her phony apology to save face.

Rousey said she wanted to make Correia regret the comments she made about her family for the purposes of promoting herself.

I have to make such a blatant example of this chick who was trying to get a fast track to a title shot that she decides that the way she went about it wasn’t worth it.

Those sound like fighting words.

Rousey and Correia face-off this Saturday night at UFC 190.
