An MMA Thanksgiving: 2017 All-Turkey Team

Bethe Correia

Correia decided to taunt and ate a shin to the face for her troubles. Former Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm knocked out Correia with a third-round head kick in the UFC Fight Night 111 headliner on June 17 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Correia met her end 69 seconds into Round 3. The two women got off to a woefully slow start and were admonished for timidity by referee Marc Goddard early in the second round. Not much changed until the third. There, Correia dropped her hands and urged the Jackson-Wink MMA standout forward. Her taunts proved costly. Holm obliged and connected with a left high kick upstairs. A dazed and defenseless Correia hit the deck, where she was met with a slashing left hand from “The Preacher’s Daughter” before Goddard could arrive on the scene.
