Although the MMA world was thoroughly impressed with her performance at UFC 190 against Bethe Correia, Ronda Rousey's longtime mentor, "Judo" Gene LeBell claims "Rowdy" Ronda feels she didn't get "rowdy" enough for her own personal liking. According to LeBell, Rousey was not kidding when talking in the pre-fight build up about wanting to hurt Correia for making tasteless comments about suicide, which Rousey felt full well Correia made knowing the situation with he father and their past. "I think she was a little disappointed," LeBell said on The MMA Hour at MMAFighting.com. "She wanted to beat this gal up, and she said, ‘I wasn't through, I wanted to break something, an arm or a leg or neck'. But John McCarthy broke it up because she was unconscious. But she said, ‘well, I proved a point.' She's happy, so I'm happy." Also during his appearance on the weekly show, which airs live every Monday at MMA Fighting, LeBell revealed the fact that he personally considers Miesha Tate the second best women's fighter on the planet, not Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino. "Cyborg is a great, great fighter, probably the third-best in the world in women's fighters," Lebell said. "Ronda of course is the best, Miesha Tate is the second best. I'd like to see Miesha Tate fight Cyborg without steroids. Cyborg is a great fighter, but she's not in Ronda's class." Finally, LeBell gave his pick on the women's MMA super fight that fans are still hoping to see in the near future -- "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey vs. Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino. "Cyborg is extremely physically strong. She's a good fighter," LeBell said. "I might sound prejudiced, but if it took [Rousey] three rounds, that's okay. I think she would dominate her entirely. That isn't taking her away from her."
