Ronda Rousey is calling her upcoming fight at UFC 190 with Bethe Correia her biggest yet. That's a powerful statement for a woman who has become one of the most dominant athletes of our time -- and maybe any time -- after only 11 professional fights. Going into the fight in Correia's home of Rio De Janeiro, both women are undefeated. Rousey says she's feeling the pressure but it isn't anything that's impeding her confidence. If anything, she says all the pressure makes her better.

"This definitely is the most personal fight I've been in," Rousey said. "It's the most pressure I've been under. That's another reason that Bethe is never meant to be a champion. I have no pressure on me. No one expects anything out of me, and that's an advantage," she said.

"So you're saying you do the best with less pressure? That's what's best for you," Rousey continued. "You're not meant for this life. You're not. The more pressure there is, I fight above myself. I've never been under more pressure in my life, and I'm going to show the world what I'm really made of."

The fight between Rousey and Correia will take place this Saturday at 10 p.m. Rousey is 11 - 0 and the Brazilian Correia is 9- 0. The last time we saw Rousey in a fight, she made quick work over another undefeated fighter in Cat Zingano. All she needed was 14-seconds to win that fight with an armbar.

Also on the card for UFC 190 is Mauricio Rua vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Glaico Franca vs. Fernando Bruno, Reginaldo Vieira vs. Dileno Lopes and Antonio Silva vs. Soa Palelei.
