On Aug 1, she will step in side The Octagon to defend her UFC women’s bantamweight title against undefeated challenger Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Rousey did not become UFC champion because of her looks. She was not a media creation. She has spent her entire life competing in combat sports. The 28-year-old may have just 11 professional fights since making her debut in 2011, but has the talent and god-given gifts that very few on the planet have.
