Ronda Rousey promises 'comeuppance' after Bethe Correia's suicide joke
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mma-cagewriter/ronda-rousey-responds-to-bethe-correia-s-suicide-joke--promises--comeuppance-222404840-mma.htmlBrazilian bantamweight Bethe Correia caused quite a stir Tuesday when she said that she hopes Ronda Rousey doesn’t ‘kill herself’ after their UFC 190 title tilt on Aug. 1.
That comment, alone, could be looked at as a bit of a promotional snafu, even without any prior context. However, when you take into account that Rousey’s father killed himself when she was just 8, then the barb takes on a whole new level of disrespect.
Many wondered if Rousey would even take the time to address the comment. It was undoubtedly in very poor taste, and no one would have held it against her if she just let the comment fall to the wayside.
Then again, that isn’t Ronda Rousey’s style.
