The fight between Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Bethe Correia is still a long way off, yet the trash talking has already begun.

The Brazilian recently made a personal swipe towards the judoka, which she immediately apologized for.

Correia was speaking to Brazilian outlet, Combate, when she dissed Rousey's troubled past.

"I want to knock her out, show to everyone that she is a lie," said Correia. "She wants to stand up with me, let's see. I want to humiliate her and shoe the world she has no MMA. She is focused on movies, books. I am much stronger."

The 31-year-old, known by her moniker, "Pitbull," added that she thinks that Rousey is not as strong as she presents herself to be. Correia mentioned the 28-year-old fighter's struggle with drugs in the past that cost her a fight. She also stressed that the Bantamweight Champion cannot handle pressure and crumbles under it.

But Correia did not end there. She was criticized for her remark about the sensitive issue of suicide.

"She is winning, so everybody around her is cheering her up, but when she realizes she is not everything that she believes she is, I don't know what might happen. I hope she does not kill herself later on," said the UFC fighter.

Sports Illustrated's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter took to Twitter to get back at Correia for her remark.

"@bethecorreia Suicide is no joke or selling point. My father will be with me the day I hand you the comeuppance you deserve," wrote Rousey on the social networking site.

The Brazilian immediately took back what she said and reached out to Rousey.

"@rondarousey Never knew what happened to ur dad. I'm humble enough to ask u for forgiveness. Family is a godly bless to me. See u in #UFC190," posted Correia on Twitter.

The 31-year-old further explained why she made the comment when she was a guest at The MMA Hour.

"I didn't know Ronda's family had that personal tragedy, otherwise I would have never spoken something like that," said Correia. She further explained that the comment was merely like a "battle cry," which was common in Brazil. The UFC fighter admitted she was not aware that the same comment would have a different meaning in the United States.

Correia acknowledged her mistake and said that the remark was not in any way an allusion to the former Olympian's father.

"With her personal tragedy, it took another level. But that's not what I meant and I am very secure about what I say and what I do. I apologize to her and to everyone. It was not my intention at any time," Correia assured.

Rousey and Correia will go against each other at the UFC 190 event on August 1, which will be held at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
