Former UFC Title Challenger Beth Correia Recovering from Yet Another Eye Surgery

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight title challenger Beth Correia was scheduled to face Irene Aldana back in January as part of the UFC St. Louis card, but was forced to withdraw from the fight after suffering an injury to her eye which required surgery.

Correia was then targeting a return to competitive action in March however, the Brazilian revealed to MMA Fighting on Tuesday that her return was postponed once again due a second surgery.

“I had a healing problem and had to do a second surgery to fix it,” Correia said.
