Amanda Ribas continues to bounce back and forth between flyweight and strawweight, but is more than happy with her next pairing in the Octagon. Matched up against Katlyn Chookagian for an important bout on May 14, the Brazilian expects that a win could put her in the title mix in the flyweight division.
In an interview with Combate, Ribas said the pairing against Chookagian was a very welcome surprise. However, should Amanda pick up an impressive win, she hopes to go right up to the division’s dominating champion, Valentina Shevchenko. Nevertheless. the Brazilian does not rule out going back to strawweight as well.
