Onetime women’s bantamweight title challenger Bethe Correia will begin her road to redemption when she squares off with “The Ultimate Fighter 18” veteran Raquel Pennington at UFC on FOX 19. Pennington (6-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) announced the bout with Correia (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) on her official Instagram page shortly after a report from Brazilian MMA website Combate . Although not made official by the UFC, UFC on FOX 19 is expected to take place April 16 in Tampa, Fla., at a still-unannounced venue. The event’s main card will air live on FOX while prelims are expected for FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. It’s Correia’s first fight since a brutal knockout loss to now-former champ Ronda Rousey at this past August’s UFC 190. Following the setback, which came after three straight UFC wins, she relocated to the U.S.
