Amanda Ribas has decided to return to flyweight for her next fight.
Ribas was originally scheduled to meet Michelle Waterson at UFC Columbus, but that was postponed to UFC 274 after the ‘Karate Hottie’ revealed she was dealing with a potential ‘career-ending’ injury. The postponement turned into a cancelation after Waterson was forced to withdraw, leaving Ribas without an opponent and removed altogether from the upcoming pay-per-view event. Fortunately, a replacement for the Brazilian has been found.
Raphael Marinho of Combate reported on Friday that Ribas accepted a fight against Katlyn Chookagian at a UFC Fight Night set to take place on May 14 at a soon-to-be determined location and venue.
