It appears the March 11 Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Fight Night card in Brazil has a new bout. Women’s bantamweights Bethe Correia (10-2) and Marion Reneau (7-3) are set to trade leather inside Centro de Formação Olímpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza. Combate reported the match-up.

Correia got back in the win column in September when she edged out Jessica Eye in their UFC 203 bout. The “Pitbull” was on a two-fight skid that included a 34-second knockout loss at the hands of Ronda Rousey. She then fell short in a split decision loss to Raquel Pennington. She’ll look to earn her second straight win.

Reneau also rebounded in her last bout. She TKO’d Milana Dudieva back in November in the third round. It was a much needed victory for “The Belizean Bruiser,” who had lost two straight prior. Those losses were to former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm and Ashlee Evans-Smith.

The UFC Fight Night event will feature a middleweight clash between Vitor Belfort and Kelvin Gastelum. A lightweight tilt between Edson Barboza and Beneil Dariush is also on tap. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will share the Octagon with Gian Villante.

It may not have been the most hyped mixed martial arts (MMA) event of 2016, but last night’s (Sunday, February 21, 2016) UFC Fight Night 83 from the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, delivered a heavy-hitting mix of great fights and finishes that earned it a deserving recognition as a very solid under-the-radar event.

There was a great women’s bout between Lauren Murphy and Kelly Faszholz that earned ‘Fight of the Night’ on the Fight Pass prelims, while the fight right after it between Ashlee Evans-Smith and Marion Reneau resulted in yet another MMA scoring controversy that only furthered the backlash towards the scoring system in place and the judges present in Pittsburgh that made some head-scratching errors.

There was also the continued rises of a few strong up-and-coming stars, and another return of sorts as recent lightweight title challenger Donald Cerrone returned to winning ways with an impressive first round submission of late replacement Alex Oliveira. All in all, it was a strong card that continued the UFC’s strong recent efforts and will continue promotional momentum into the absolutely blockbuster events scheduled for two weeks to come.

Let’s take a look back at the five biggest takeaways from UFC Fight Night 83.
