UFC Fight Night 106's Marion Reneau deals with high-school students, so Bethe Correia is easy


FORTALEZA, Brazil – UFC women’s bantamweight Marion Reneau isn’t too fazed by Bethe Correia’s over-the-top persona. She’s seen worse in the classroom.

“I work with high school students,” said Reneau, who meets the Brazilian on the FS1-televised main card of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 106 at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. “I deal with that type of behavior all the time.”

So far, Correia (10-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC), No. 14, in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings hasn’t said too much, or not nearly as much as she did on her road to a disastrous title fight against now-former champ Ronda Rousey. What little Correia has said, Reneau (7-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) found funny.

Dealing with kids on a daily basis, Reneau has a lot more patience than your average fighter. And in the end, the 39-year-old mother is just too busy to put energy into pre-fight talk. Between her teaching job, kids and training, she’s too pooped to get wound up by headlines.

Reneau needs to make the most of her hours as she spins all of her plates. So she’ll stick to what matters most, which is taking home a win. After all, the clock is ticking.

“I’m not saying my age is a factor, but I do have a window of opportunity,” she said. “I’m taking that opportunity now.”

Watch the above video to see Reneau break down her fight.
