No matter who the fighter was, retirement is always an unfortunate farewell but when the time comes, it’s a rather important decision the combat sports athletes make for themselves after sacrificing their bodies for others’ entertainment. Now Bethe Correia, a mixed martial artist from Brazil, announced her retirement after her decision loss at UFC Vegas 38. Correia lost a three-round contest to fellow contender Carol Rosa.

Bethe Correia in her prime was a force to reckon with in the bantamweight division and had a 9-fight undefeated streak starting from her pro-MMA debut at “First fight Revelations” and went on to headline UFC 190: Rousey vs Correia for the UFC Bantamweight title. She lost her debut and since then, Correia is now ending her fight career with a record of 11 wins- 6 losses-1 draws.
