Bethe Correia has an explanation for busting out some dance moves after her UFC Fight Night 106 bout.
Correia last fought this past Saturday night (March 11) inside the Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. Her opponent was Marion Reneau. The two had a close encounter until the final round. Reneau had her opponent hurt and easily took a 10-8 round.
It wasn’t enough for Reneau as the judges scored the fight a majority draw. Before the score totals were read, Correia showed off some dance moves for her hometown crowd. “Pitbull” told MMAFighting.com that the energy of the crowd was too strong to ignore:
“The crowd got me so excited, they gave me strength to continue fighting when I was hurt in the third round. It’s my mark. Even in the UFC video game, I dance after the fights. Fans love it, they ask me to dance all the time. It was so beautiful what the crowd did for me there, chanting my name so I wouldn’t lose in the third round. And I thought I had won when the fight was over, so I was so happy I had to dance for them even though I was completely tired [laughs].”
