Women’s strawweight contender Amanda Ribas has gone on an impressive run in the UFC. Since her arrival in the promotion in 2019, Ribas has earned four straight victories over some notable names in the division. Her most recent win came against former UFC star Paige VanZant, who she submitted with an armbar in the first round at UFC 251.
The always jovial, but still dangerous Ribas seemed to have her star power grow even more after the VanZant fight, so it was not surprising to see her climb up the rankings and onto the radars of both future and former title challengers at 115 pounds.
