- The UFC has released the second and third episodes of UFC 190 Embedded in promotion of their huge pay-per-view this Saturday. The episodes show dominant Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey on the UFC 190 media conference call ahead of Saturday's show. Her challenger Bethe Correia is also shown preparing for the event.
Wrestling Inc will have full, live coverage of UFC 190 this Saturday night, so be sure to join us and score the fights at home with us. You can see the second episode of UFC 190 Embedded above, and the third below.
- Anthony "Rumble" Johnson was originally set to take on Jan Blachowicz at September's UFC 191 show, in a matchup that was trashed by many fans for not being competitive. It would appear the UFC listened to it's critics, as the company has replaced Blachowicz with #7 Jimi Manuwa, according to ESPN.
Much like Johnson, Manuwa is a heavy handed finisher. Blachowicz will likely remain on the card and get another opponent.
- Ronda Rousey was also interviewed on UFC Tonight this week prior to her UFC 189 fight. You can see the highlights below, and the full video at the bottom of the page.
Rousey on how she thinks the fight will finish:
"With me winning in the most fantastical way. I want fans go: 'Wow, what just happened there? I want to watch it all over again.' I only plan the first exchange and then just go with it, so your guess is as good as mine."
Rousey on if she'll still hold a grudge against Correia if she wins:
"I still won't like her. But I won't have to think about her anymore. She'll have to think about me every day. Then I'm going to go think about beating up Miesha again. Then I'll forget about her. Then I'm going to go make a movie – Mile 22 – with Mark Wahlberg."
Rousey on being the favorite in the fight:
:"In the grand goal, I'm not the favorite. I want to be one of the most dominant fighters who've ever lived and retire undefeated. I'm an underdog in that."
Rousey on expecting cheers or boos fighting in Brazil:
"It doesn't matter. I know it's going to be loud and everyone cares. If they don't care, that's bad. I don't go out there to be liked. I go out there to be cared about."
Rousey on if she saw Miesha Tate's last fight and if she wants to fight her again:
"I didn't see it because I was about to train. I heard it was an awesome fight. I'll be happy to beat up Miesha a third time if that's what the fans want."
