Former title contender Bethe Correia, veteran lightweight Evan Dunham released from UFC

Former bantamweight title contender Bethe Correia and veteran lightweight Evan Dunham have both been released from the UFC following recent losses.

UFC officials confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Wednesday.

For Correia, her time with the UFC comes to an end after spending nearly seven years with the promotion, where she earned a shot at the title in only her fourth octagon fight.

After earning wins over Julie Kedzie, Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler, Correia was granted the opportunity against then champion Ronda Rousey in her native Brazil.
