Bethe Correia took to social media on Monday to let Ronda Rousey and the world know that she wants a rematch with the champion.
In a long post on her Instagram account, Correia wrote, "So I tell @rondarousey I'm here and I'll fight for a rematch in 2016, stronger, more mature, we'll see each other again! I wanted to fight you and I got it. I'll get that chance again and I'll have my revenge at the right time!"
Correia also chastised Rousey for reportedly saying she wanted Correia to "have a meeting with Jesus," interpreting that to mean Rousey wanted to kill her. Correia noted she would never fight someone "with the intention to kill, break their neck which is something there's no return from" and that she would never even joke about it.
She was responding to an article in which "Rousey's longtime mentor Gene LeBell said Rousey was disappointed in the fight's result because she didn't break one of Correia's bones," per Brazilian outlet Combate (via D'Arcy Maine of espnW).
The irony in Correia's remarks is that before the two fighters faced off, Correia said, per Combate (h/t MMA Mania, via Fox Sports), "I hope she does not kill herself later on," when predicting she would beat Rousey. Those comments were not received well publicly, as Rousey's father had killed himself earlier in the fighter's life, and Correia would later apologize.
Now, however, she is simply trying to earn a rematch with Rousey, which might be a tough task after the champion knocked her out in 34 seconds in early August.
