Bethe Correia doesn’t think taunting led to loss against Holly Holm

Almost two years after Holly Holm knocked Ronda Rousey’s teeth loose in her epic title win in Australia, the former UFC bantamweight champion almost caused the same damage to Bethe Correia.

Holm finished Correia with a head kick in the main event of UFC Fight Night 111 in Singapore on June 17, and doctors suspected that the Brazilian's teeth were unstable due to the vicious kick.

Correia, who was issued a 180-day suspension pending a dental clearance told MMA Fighting that she avoided any serious damage.

“I left (the Octagon) and my mouth was bleeding a little, and I had the feeling of having my teeth loose,” Correia said.
