MANILA, Philippines – Ronda Rousey made quick work of Bethe Correia to successfully defend her UFC women’s bantamweight championship in the main event of UFC 190 on Sunday, August 2 (August 1 in US) at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.


The 28-year-old Rousey finished the job in just 34 seconds by delivering a vicious right hand to Correia’s temple, dropping her Brazilian opponent to the mat face first.



Shogun Rua edges Lil Nog by close decision


Mauricio “Shogun Rua (23-10) took care of Antonio Rogerio "Minotouro" Nogueira (21-7) once again in their rematch at UFC 190, winning by unanimous decision with three 29-28 marks.


In other matches, Stefan Struve (25-7) dominated former PRIDE heavyweight kingpin Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira (34-9-1, 1 NC) in three rounds to earn the undivided vote from the cageside judges with three 30-27 scores across the board.


The seven-foot Dutch endured a hostile crowd while also fighting one of his MMA idols as he exemplified a consistent striking attack and takedown defense against the Brazilian fan-favorite.


Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (19-7-1) placed himself back on the winning track with a second-round stoppage of Australian heavyweight Soa Palelei (22-5).


An uppercut from Silva sent Palelei retreating to the fence early in the second frame, and the Brazilian did not miss the opportunity to follow up with knees and hard right hands as his opponent covered up.


As one sharp uppercut found its way through the defensive shell, Palelei collapsed to the mat, prompting Silva to polish it off and force referee “Big” John McCarthy to wave it off at the 41-second mark of round two.
