This week’s Cultureteca views\u00a0Ronda Rousey in Rio, and some of the curious overlaps between today’s UFC and WWE; a week’s worth of rap, featuring an album announcement by Dr. Dre, a new video by Kendrick Lamar, diss tracks by Drake, and A$AP fan art; and finally the V&A exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey, UFC 190, and Fighting Women<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday night at UFC 190 in Rio,\u00a0defending her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship, Ronda Rousey knocked out challenger Bethe Correia in just 34 seconds.<\/p>\n

Across the long\u00a0buildup to the fight, Correia had questioned Rousey’s mental strength. Suggesting she would knock her out in\u00a0two punches, Correia hoped aloud that Rousey wouldn’t commit suicide after falling to such a defeat. Rousey’s father committed suicide when she was just eight years old, so this was understandably a sore subject.<\/p>\n

\n

@bethecorreia<\/a> suicide is no joke or selling point. My father will be with me the day I hand you the comeuppance you deserve.<\/p>\n
