Amanda Ribas bounced up to 8th in the UFC strawweight rankings on the back of her impressive win over former UFC headliner Paige VanZant at UFC 251 last July. The Brazilian tapped VanZant with an armbar to earn her fourth win inside the Octagon and improve her overall record to 10-1.
The 27-year-old got her start in the UFC in 2019. Though, she was signed by the promotion in 2017, but had to serve a length competition ban thanks to a failed USADA test for Ostarine. Her suspension was cut short after USADA determined that the Ostarine found its way into Ribas’ system through a tainted dietary supplement.
