Former title contender Bethe Correia, veteran lightweight Evan Dunham released from UFC – MMA Fighting

In her newest look, Correia lost a consentaneous decision to Pannie Kianzad, which was ultimately her final battle in the UFC before being released.

UFC authorities verified the news to MMA Fighting on Wednesday.

Since that time, Correia has actually fought with consistency, bouncing back and forth with wins and losses over the past couple of years. While shes earned wins over Jessica Eye and Sijara Eubanks, Correia came up brief in battles versus names such as Holly Holm, Raquel Pennington and Irene Aldana.

Dunham gets his release from the UFC following a first-round submission loss to Herbert Burns back in June. That fight served as Dunhams go back to action after retiring from the sport in 2018 before ultimately stating his intention to contend once again.

For Correia, her time with the UFC comes to an end after investing almost seven years with the promo, where she earned a shot at the title in just her fourth octagon fight.

Overall, Dunham had dropped 3 straight fights prior to receiving his release from the UFC.

After earning wins over Julie Kedzie, Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler, Correia was approved the chance versus then champion Ronda Rousey in her native Brazil. Sadly, her night ended with a first-round knockout.

Previous bantamweight title contender Bethe Correia and seasoned lightweight Evan Dunham have actually both been released from the UFC following recent losses.
