Correia doesn't 'regret anything' she said prior to Rousey bout

Bethe Correia made things personal with Ronda Rousey, then Rousey felled Correia like a redwood.

The brawling Brazilian talked epic amounts of trash leading up to her bout with the women's bantamweight champion at UFC 190 on Saturday, including an ill-advised suicide remark that hit a little too close to home for Rousey.

Rousey, whose father committed suicide when she was just eight years old, allowed Correia's insensitive bombast to fuel her, needing just 34 seconds to completely bludgeon the challenger into brief unconsciousness.

The direct manner in which Rousey doled out punishment suggested she took Correia's trash talk to heart. Correia, however, doesn't have any regrets for the way she conducted her business leading up to the sanctioned beating.

"I don't regret anything, and everything I said was very sincere," Correia said during the post-fight press conference, according to MMAFighting.com's Chuck Mindenhall. "It was my point of view and it was what I believed in. I think I did a great job. The event was wonderful. It wasn't the result I wanted, but I think that everything I said was something that I thought. I'm a very sincere person and I don't take back anything that happened. But of course with this fight, I have a lot of lessons that I learned."

Instead of using her vaunted grappling to take Correia's arm home with her, Rousey waded through the Brazilian's bombs before landing a string of vicious, fight-ending blows.

"I started out well," Correia said. "I think she felt my strikes and she tried to grab me, and I defended the takedown. But those things happen. Her hands landed and that's her merit, and I really felt it. But I thought I was doing the right game, which was to attack, counter-attack, defend her takedowns and hit her. But at that moment I slipped. I got up and she connected a good punch, and that's what happened."
