Ronda Rousey Addresses Controversial Bethe Correia Comment, UFC 187 Prelim Viewership, UFN Preview

By Sean Ross Sapp

- The UFC has released a preview for this weekend's Fight Night Goiania show, which features former Interim Champion Carlos Condit's return to the cage. Condit has been out for over a year with an ACL injury, and is looking to work his way back to a title shot. You can see the preview above.

- The UFC 187 prelim viewership is in, and the show did 780,000 viewers, just down from their average of 800,000. The show was forced to go head-to-head with the NBA playoffs, and featured top Flyweight John Dodson taking on Zach Makovsky.

- UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey and her UFC 190 opponent Bethe Correia have had a huge war of words lately that turned controversial.

"Under pressure, she is proving weak," Correia told Combate "When her mom put pressure on her, she ran away from home. When she lost, it was because of drugs. That's not a superhero. She is not mentally healthy; she needs to take care of herself. She is winning, so everybody is around her cheering her up, but when she realizes she is not everything that she believes she is, I don't know what might happen. I hope she does not kill herself later on (laughs)."

This proved controversial because Rousey's father committed suicide when she was a child. Rousey took to Twitter to address the situation, and Correia later apologized. You can see both of the tweets below.
