Despite recent rumors that she’s been cut by the UFC, Bethe Correia will make the walk to the octagon one last time. Correia (11-5-1 MMA, 5-5-1 UFC) posted a message to her Instagram page to announce that she will deny reports of her UFC release and stated that she will compete in the final fight of her career at a UFC event in December. A photo of a smiling Correia holding a signed contract was accompanied by a lengthy statement as the former bantamweight title challenger said, “This December I will be in the UFC octagon. I will cherish every moment of it and I know I’ll miss it! I’m incredibly thankful to the UFC for the recognition of my career and history, they have never denied me a request.” Correia has headlined UFC events twice in her career, most notably at UFC 190 where she challenged Ronda Rousey for the women’s 135-pound title in Rio de Janeiro back in 2015.
