Ronda Rousey will dedicate her match against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 to the late "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who died Thursday at age 61.
Piper allowed the UFC women's bantamweight champion to use the "Rowdy" nickname. Rousey appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last year and explained how she got permission from the WWE legend (the story starts around the 2:20 mark of the video).
Rousey posted a photo of Piper on Instagram on Friday night with the caption "Thank you for the name.... And so much more.... Will do it justice and do you proud tomorrow.... This one's for you Roddy...." It would only be fitting if Rousey could finish the fight with a sleeper hold.
