LAS VEGAS – Amanda Ribas thinks she’s done everything right to beat former champ Rose Namajunas in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 53 headliner.
Ribas (12-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will look to secure the biggest victory of her career when she meets two-time strawweight champion Namajunas (11-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) in a five-round women’s flyweight main event at the UFC Apex (ESPN, ESPN+).
The Brazilian made her octagon debut in June 2019 with the dream of one day being at the top of the bill on a UFC card. She’s experienced highs and lows since then, but now she finally realizes one of her most significant career goals.
