After being challenged by Miesha Tate in a recent interview, UFC Women’s Bantamweight contender Bethe Correia wasted no time accepting the challenge.
Through a translator, Correia told Tate to be careful who she challenges and to wear a good mouthpiece, because she’ll answer the challenge with “punches to the mouth.”
“Everyone knows I want to be the champion,” Correia said to FOX Sports through a translator. “And fight the champion is something I’ve looked for, something I worked to get. I have no idea why Tate decided to appear in this history. But everyone knows me and knows how I am, I never back away from a fight, I am Bethe Correia. I never run from a challenge.”
Correia continued, “Whoever challenges me make sure to use a good mouthpiece because I’ll answer to it in the Octagon with punches to the mouth.”
Although she’s willing to accept Tate’s challenge, Correia continues to make it clear that it’s Ronda Rousey and the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship that she has her sights set on.
“I’ll be the next UFC champion,” Correia said. “I’ll fight anyone they want me to and I’ll beat all of them. If it’s up to me, the check for Performance of the Night bonus will have my name on it in my next fight.”
