Bethe Correia’s first win in three years was nothing short of dramatic. After dropping the first round of her bout against Sijara Eubanks at UFC Mexico, the ‘Pitbull’ came back to win the other two and pick up a unanimous decision during the card’s preliminary portion.
However, in an interview with Combate, Correia explains that she had to overcome adversity outside of the Octagon, as well. Namely, a nagging back injury that could have jeopardized the fight and, later on, a mysterious stomach bug on fight day, which got Bethe sick enough to vomit everything she ate that day.
