The UFC announced that Brazilian Bethe “Pitbull” Correia will have her next fight against Shayna Baszler, at UFC 176, which will take place on August 2, in Los Angeles, in the United States.

At the end of last month, Pitbull defeated Jessamyn Duke in a unanimous decision by the judges. After the fight, the Brazilian challenged the “Four Horsewomen” team, which is made up of the category champion, Ronda Rousey, Duke, Baszler and Marina Shafir. The UFC champion highlighted Correia's attitude, but stated that the fighter's next opponent should be Baszler.
