Dana White: UFC 190's Bethe Correia intentionally used suicide remarks to play 'head games' with Ronda Rousey

Remember when Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's Bantamweight title contender Bethe Correia jiu-jitsued her foot in her mouth when she said she hopes Ronda Rousey doesn't commit suicide after getting humiliated at UFC 190?

It was an awkward, insensitive comment because Rousey's father committed suicide when she was younger. One day later the Brazilian apologized and protested ignorance, however, the remarks soon earned her the No. 1 spot on Rousey's most-hated list (much to the chagrin of Miesha Tate).

But, according to UFC president Dana White, Correia's suicide remarks were entirely intentional.
