In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Bethe Correia said she wants to be the person to retire Meisha Tate. Her comments were prompted by Tate’s post on Twitter in November:
Well all know @bethecorreia isn't the brightest bulb on the tree. #MerryChristmas https://t.co/qso4zUfYWa

Here’s what Correia had to say in response:
“I woke up and there’s a tweet from Miesha Tate saying I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree and I thought to myself, Miesha is probably too bored, has nothing to do in her personal life and career, and she’s trying to throw her frustration into someone else. Ever since she was sidelined by the UFC and realized she won’t be fighting for the title anytime soon, she lost her mind.”
“When I lost, Meisha said I never deserved a title fight, and called me a rookie. I told her to come fight me so I can show her what a rookie can do, but she never agreed to fight me because she thought she would be fighting Ronda next, and that never happened. The UFC is keeping her in the sidelines. If they want me to go in there and retire Miesha, I will do my best to show the world this rookie has some knockout power and retire her. I will make your wish come true, Miesha. I can do this for you.”
Neither fighters currently have a fight lined up. Is this one you’d want to see? Leave your thoughts in the comments section.
