Last month it was reported that Bethe Correia had been released by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) following a loss to Pannie Kianzad at UFC Fight Island 3 in July. And while “Pitbull” acknowledged the news, it seems she will be back for more.

According to a report from Ag.fight., which was confirmed by MMA Fighting, the former women’s Bantamweight title contender will be back for one more fight with the promotion, as she has signed a deal to take part in her retirement fight on Dec. 5 against Yanan Wu.

Correia has gone 2-5-1 since 2015, a losing streak that was kicked off by 34 second knockout loss to former division champion Ronda Rousey. As for Yanan, she is coming off a loss to Mizuki Inoue over a year ago, bringing her UFC mark to a paltry 1-2.

The “Fight Night” event — which doesn’t have a location locked down just yet — is set to be headlined by intriguing Middleweight showdown between former Welterweight title contender, Darren Till, and Jack Hermansson.
