Going into UFC 190, Ronda Rousey has insisted that she is an underdog as far as sporting legacies are concerned.

"Rowdy" is a judo bronze medal winner at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She is the first American to win in women's judo since the sport's Olympic inception in 1992. She has since moved on to conquer the UFC with a perfect 11-0 record and has been its first female champion.

The 28-year-old American is heavily favored to defend her title this weekend against Brazilian challenger Bethe Correia but Rousey is looking beyond Saturday's main event.

"In these individual fights I might be a heavy favorite," she told Fox Sports in an interview. "In the end, I'm not a favorite at all. I'm a huge underdog. The end goal is I want to retire undefeated and be remembered as one of the most dominant athletes of all time."

Rousey is already eons apart her competition but believes retiring undefeated would stamp her greatness not only in the UFC but also in combat sport history.

"Who's done it before? Who has retired undefeated and been thoroughly dominant their whole career? Rocky Marciano, I think? That one a long time ago? I can't really think of anybody else," The reigning UFC women's Bantamweight champion rationalized.

Rousey plans to dominate her sport and retire on her own terms. She is daunted by the task but is equally motivated by it.

"I want to be that one that retired on top and was always undefeated and walked out because I took the belt off and I handed it back because I felt like it was time for someone else to carry it. Not because anyone took it from me."

"The goal is much bigger than just one person. I'm just breaking it up into bite-sized pieces," she explained.

Well that "one person" she will do battle with this weekend isn't a tad bit intimidated by the champion.

Bethe Correia claims she will expose Rousey's weakness at UFC 190 in her home country of Brazil.

"Everybody has holes in their game, and Ronda does, too... You might not know it because the media doesn't talk about it. But she has holes in her game, too," Correia told Yahoo Sports.

When asked what she would do differently from previous challengers who failed to dethrone Rousey, she said she has the right mindset and confidence going into the fight.

"The media kept talking about how good Ronda is and how she's unbeatable and I think those girls were adversely affected by that. I don't think Ronda's unbeatable; I know she's not unbeatable," the 32-year-old former accountant concluded.
