The UFC is working on booking former title contender Bethe Correia and Jessica Eye in a women’s bantamweight bout at UFC 203, according to Combate.

Eye (11-5) is currently on a three fight losing streak and 1-4-1 in her last six bouts. In her last bout, she lost to Sara McMann at UFC Fight Night 88 by decision.

Correia holds a 9-2 pro-MMA record and is currently on a two fight losing streak. In her last bout, she lost to Raquel Pennington by split decision at UFC on FOX 19.

UFC 203 takes place on Saturday, September 10th, at The Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. The prelims will air on UFC Fight Pass and FOX Sports 1 while the main card will air on traditional pay-per-view. The main event will see newly crowned heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic defend his title against top contender Alistair Overeem while the co-main event will most likely be a number one contender’s heavyweight bout between Ben Rothwell and former champion Fabricio Werdum.
