Bethe Correia: Requiem For A Troll

When martial artist fighter Bethe Correia was soundly trounced in a match against current UFC champ Ronda Rousey recently it wasn’t just about showcasing Rousey’s exceptional skills. It was also, in its own way, about cosmic balance.

See, Correia had rapidly risen through the UFC rankings to become a top contender. But along the way up she also unleashed a trolling carpet bomb on most of her opponents. It was only fair, then, that Rousey would restore a sense of order in the universe.

Ronda Rousey’s hair game

One of the most dramatic differences between men and women in the mixed martial arts game involves hair.

The men, unrestrained by cultural pressures, often lean towards ultra-short, ultra-efficient hair.

Many of the women, however, still like to maintain long hair. When training and fighting so much this can sometimes be problematic. Sarah went to Abraham Esparza, the personal hair stylist for Ronda Rousey, to learn more about what’s involved in these athletes maintaining their manes.

How To Debate Whether Ronda Rousey Should Fight A Man

Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey

Ever since UFC women’s bantanweight champ defended her title in 14 seconds at UFC 184 the debate has raged about who’s left for her to fight.

She’s defeated most of the contenders in her division, so that leaves her with two imaginative options: 1) Catchweight superfights with women from other divisions, or 2) men.

One of these things will never happen.
