RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Ronda Rousey spent the day after her impressive victory over Bethe Correia at UFC 190 by going to a soccer game at Maracana Stadium.

Wearing a red and black jersey of Flamengo, Brazil's most popular club, Rousey was among the crowd of 61,421 at the famed venue Sunday.

Rousey was seen posing for photos with several fans on the stands, and was applauded by the crowd when she was shown on the stadium's big screen.

The UFC's biggest star, Rousey needed only 34 seconds to beat her Brazilian opponent Saturday night, successfully defending her bantamweight title. After the fight, Rousey was loudly cheered by fans after saying she loves Brazil.

Flamengo and Santos tied 2-2 in the Brazilian league game.
