Rose Namajunas and Amanda Ribas have revealed their predictions for the upcoming UFC on ESPN 54 main event.
Former two-time strawweight champion Namajunas (11-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) meets Ribas (12-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 53 (ESPN/ESPN+) main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. One week later, Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot squares off in a pivotal five-round No. 1 contender bout in Atlantic City, N.J.
Namajunas, whose most recent setback came as a unanimous decision to Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in September, thinks Blanchfield’s (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) pace will be too much.
