Strawweight Amanda Ribas will have to wait a bit longer until she steps into the Octagon again.
Originally paired up against Michelle Waterson for a bout on March 26 until the ‘Karate Hottie’ was forced to withdraw due to injury, the Brazilian’s next match was moved all the way to May 7, so her opponent can have time to recover and train. Even that date is in jeopardy based on a video from Waterson saying her injury is potentially career-ending if not treated properly.
Disappointing as the news was, Ribas did not let the turn of events get her down.
