Ronda Rousey WWE next fight news 2015: Bethe Correia wants rematch against Rousey
Ronda Rousey's next opponent is allegedly Miesha Tate set for December, although the name of Cris 'Cyborg' Justino has been floating around.
As far as the official word on the part of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is concerned, it will be Rousey vs. Tate III at least for now.
But for those who have been following the stories on Justino, do recall that the camp of the Cyborg has claimed that they were approached by the UFC for a possible December joust between Rousey and Justino. Dana White, of course, shot down those rumors immediately and stood pat that it was Tate.
And while the ruckus about who Rousey will actually fight is still in the air, there is another female fighter waiting in the wings to fight her in 2016. She is none other than Bethe "The PitBull" Correia, the same opponent she defeated at UFC 190 in 34 seconds.
The two, of course, have a colorful history leading to the match. Everyone knows how Correia motivated Rousey with her famed "suicide" tweet that hit a dark moment in Rousey's life.
When the two met in Brazil, it was evident that Rousey was all business. She used a flurry of punches to knock out the PitBull and nothing has been heard of her ever since until now.
It seems that Correia has fully recovered from that loss and is looking for a rematch. Aside from eyeing another fight with Rousey, Correia even criticized media for not giving her a fair build-up, most of which were centered on the reigning UFC Women's bantamweight champion.
Although all of that is in the past, there is now one thing in her mind — a rematch with Rousey in 2016.
Correia has nothing booked for now but regardless of whom she faces next, it looks like the Brazilian fighter is determined to seek another chance at Rousey and her title. Would the outcome be different?
If ever that happens, she may have to get in line. It seems that she will have to wait for the outcome of the champ's match against Tate or Justino before she can be counted as a possible opponent.
With that said, when in 2016 could it be? As early as midyear perhaps?
