Bethe Correia says she's fighting Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night 106 in Brazil

The lineup for the UFC’s March return to Brazil continues to build with the addition of a former title challenger to the lineup.

Bethe Correia (10-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on Friday tweeted that she’ll fight Marion Reneau (7-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in a women’s bantamweight matchup at UFC Fight Night 106, a booking that first was reported by Brazilian MMA news outlet Combate. The UFC has not yet made a formal announcement of the fight.

UFC Fight Night 106 (the event was slated to be UFC Fight Night 107 until the promotion scrapped a Friday event the week prior in Las Vegas, forcing the number change to this card) takes place March 11 at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

The two women already have started a playful back-and-forth on Twitter. After Correia tweeted about the fight today and included an emoji of an old woman – Reneau is 39 – her opponent answered back.

After Brazil’s Correia lost a title fight by 34-second knockout to then-champ Ronda Rousey at UFC 190 in August 2015, her return was a rough one. She dropped a split call to Raquel Pennington at UFC on FOX 19 this past April. But at UFC 203 in September, she rebounded with a split-decision win over Jessica Eye in front of Eye’s home Cleveland fans to get back in the win column.

Reneau recently snapped a two-fight skid, herself. She started her UFC career with consecutive wins in 2015, including a bonus-winning submission of Jessica Andrade in Brazil. But then she dropped decisions to eventual champ Holly Holm and Ashlee Evans-Smith. But at UFC Fight Night 99 in Northern Ireland in November, she got back on track with a third-round TKO of Milana Dudieva.

The UFC Fight Night 107 lineup now includes:

• Vitor Belfort vs. Kelvin Gastelum
• Edson Barboza vs. Beneil Dariush
• Mauricio Rua vs. Gian Villante
• Josh Burkman vs. Michel Prazeres
• Luis Henrique da Silva vs. TBA
• Bethe Correia vs. Marion Reneau
