Brazilian rising star Bethe Correia made it two in a row against the “Four Horsewomen” stable with a convincing second-round TKO victory on Saturday night at “UFC 177: Dillashaw vs. Soto” in Sacramento. Correia stopped veteran contender Shayna Baszler with a barrage of unanswered punches in a bantamweight bout on the featured main card. Correia (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) began her rivalry with the “Four Horsewomen” in April when she posted a split decision victory over “TUF 18″ contestant Jessamyn Duke at UFC 172. Baszler (15-9 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vowed revenge for her teammate, and she got off to a good start early in Saturday’s bout, but Correia overwhelmed her with strikes in Round 2. Correia reversed a takedown in the opening round and worked from top position, but Baszler remained very active from her back and she looked to set up a triangle choke and an armbar.
