Ahead of her title defense against Bethe Correia, Rousey promised that she will leave her title belt in Brazil – but not in the way that Correia wants. And indeed, it only took Rousey 34 seconds to knock out Correia and defend her title.
Rousey is now fulfilling her promise, as MMA Fighting reported that she will leave her belt at the judo school of Flavio Canto in Rio De Janeiro.
This is the second time that Rousey has given Canto's school a gift. In March 2015, she donated $30,000 to the school to help needy children learn the sport.
Ahead of UFC 190, Rousey explained her decision to leave her belt in Brazil.
"Bethe did have one thing right. She said that the Brazilian people deserve to have the belt left here. So I've decided that after I win it, I'm going to make sure that when I have the belt, I don't take it home with me," she said.
"I'm going to give it and make sure that it stays some place in Brazil as my gift."
