https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh2N07LV42g After he win over Jessamyn Duke at UFC 172 this part April, Bethe Correia raised her hand, four fingers extended, and dropped one. That finger represented Duke, one of WMMA's so-called "Four Horsewomen" - a group that includes Duke, Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir, and UFC Champion Ronda Rousey. The four have become training partners, friends and roommates, led of course by the brash, talented Rousey. Baszler herself is an MMA pioneer; Duke appeared on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter to include female combatants. Rest assured, Correia's callout of the entire stable is not something that will sit well with Rousey. Correia is now 2-0 in the UFC, and is set to face Baszler next, at UFC 176 in August. Shafir does not currently fight in the UFC, so for now, should Correia pass Baszler, there's a chance she'll find herself in the crosshairs of an angry Rousey, out for vengeance. Come August, we'll know for sure. This has the makings of a serious grudge match.
