Globo in Brazil reported yesterday that Bethe Correia vs Irene Aldana has been added to UFC 227 Aug. 4 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This fight shows how weak the Bantamweight division is right now. These two are lower mid card talent at best. Yes, I know Bethe once got an undeserved title shot. She's an awful fighter. Bethe is 34 years old and she trains with the Pitbull Brothers who fight for Bellator. Her record is 10-3-1 and she is 4-3-1 in the UFC. The last time we saw her she suffered a KO by a Holly Holm highlight reel head kick. That fight was awful up to that point. Neither of them did much of anything. That was June 2017. I know Bethe has had a couple of surgeries to fix problems with her eyes. She's a striker with no power or ground game. Not that Irene is much better. She is 30 years old from Mexico. She trains at Lobo with her teammate Alexa Grasso. Like Alexa, Irene is a striker with no power or ground game. She lost her first two UFC fights and then beat Talita Bernardo who is worse than either of these two. I expect this fight to stink out the joint. These two seem to like to do as little as possible. So we can expect three rounds of light sparring followed by a split decision. Phooey!
