Ronda "Rowdy" Rousey is already thinking of a possible rematch with Miesha Tate after her upcoming title defense against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 on Saturday at the HSBC Arena in Brazil.

Rousey, who holds a perfect 11-0 record, is confident she will successfully defend her UFC women's bantamweight title against Correia on Saturday. And after beating Correia, the undefeated champion said she will dispatch Tate in a rematch.

"I'm going to beat up Bethe," Rousey told Fox Sports. "Then I'm going to take a couple of weeks to rest, and then I'm going to beat up Miesha."

Rousey defeated Tate during their Strikeforce match in March 2012 and during their UFC women's bantamweight title fight in December 2013. Despite winning in their first two fights, Rousey said she is still open to a third match because fights fans are calling for it.

"There's fan interest, so there's my interest," Rousey said. "I'm interested in defending my title as many times as I need to before I feel like I'm done. If she's the best competitor and she's who the fans want to see, then yeah, I'm extremely interested in doing it."

Since losing to Rousey, Tate has racked up four consecutive victories, including her unanimous decision win against Jessica Eye at UFC on Fox 16 on Saturday.

When asked about Tate's recent victory, Rousey said that UFC President Dana White tried to convince her to watch the match, but she did not see the fight because she was busy training. Still, the 28-year-old said she was not surprised by the result because Tate has always been a great fighter.

"I didn't see it," Rousey said of the Tate-Eye match. "Dana was texting me about it because I was about to go train at the time, but I'm not surprised. She's a great competitor and a great athlete. I've always said amazing things about her as a fighter."

But while Rousey praised Tate, her trainer Edmond Tarverdyan opted to take a swipe at his fighter's rival. Tarverdyan said that a third fight would not be healthy for Tate's career because Rousey would beat her badly should the two collide again in the UFC Octagon.

"I'm going to make sure that Miesha Tate gets really punished and knows what she's getting into," Tarverdyan told MMA Fighting. "It's not gonna be good for her career. She's gonna get a lot of damage and I'm gonna make sure it's not healthy for her career."
