UFC Fortaleza, which takes place on March 11th, has another fight confirmed. Bethe Correia announced via Twitter that she will face American Marion Reneau, number 13 in the bantamweight rankings.

“UFC Fortaleza, here I come! Against Marion Reneau, in the Northeast that I love”, posted Bethe, ninth in the rankings in her category.

The Brazilian interrupted her first series of defeats (against Ronda Rousey, at UFC 190, and in front of Rachel Pennington) with a split decision triumph at UFC 203, in September last year, against Jessica Eye.

Reneau achieved her third UFC victory at UFC Belfast, defeating Milena Dudieva by decision. Like Bethe, the American had two defeats before her last triumph.
