Strawweight hot prospect Amanda Ribas is ready to keep the hype going ahead of her fifth UFC outing. Paired up against fellow Brazilian Marina Rodriguez, on a card headlined by none other than Conor McGregor, the 27-year-old knows she needs to do something special to make the watchers remember her fight.
In an interview with Combate, Ribas hinted at what she may do against Rodriguez on January 24. Although she is both a judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt, with four of her 10 professional MMA wins coming by way of submission, Ribas said she might try to surprise Rodriguez on the feet in order to send a message to the fans and the rest of the division.
