Ronda Rousey returns Saturday night at UFC 190 in the main event, facing Brazilian challenger Bethe Correia in a grudge match that could get downright ugly. If you don't know who Correia is, that's fair - her accolades in the cage haven't been the most impressive.

These transgressions have caused Rousey to state that unlike most of her fights, this one won't end soon: she intended to punish Correia. Elsewhere on the card, the legendary Nogueira brothers fight for what could be the last time, in a rare double bill: Little Nog takes on the equally legendary Shogun Rua, while twin brother Big Nog takes on the tallest fighter in the UFC, Stefan "Skyscraper" Struve. Add in a heavyweight bout between Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Soa "The Hulk" Palelei and you've got a recipe for an exciting card. Can it live up to UFC 189, a.k.a. the McGregor Show?
