A women’s bantamweight matchup is headed to Mexico in September.
According to Combate’s Raphael Marinho’s, former title challenger Bethe Correia and Sijara Eubanks are reportedly headed to UFC on ESPN+ 17, in Mexico, City.
Currently on a two-fight losing skid, Bethe Correia (10-4-1) missed weight by five pounds in her last outing, in May, when she was tapped out by Irene Aldana via armbar. Before the loss, ‘Pitbull’ was knocked out by former champion Holly Holm in June 2017. The 36-year-old’s last win happened in September 2016, when she bested Jessica Eye via split decision.
Back to the bantamweight division after a brief flyweight stint, Sijara Eubanks (4-3) dropped an unanimous decision to Aspen Ladd, in a “Fight of the Night” performance, back in May.
