Take two for this strawweight fight.
MMA Fighting reported that a matchup between contenders Amanda Ribas and Michelle Waterson is in the works for a UFC Fight Night card on March 26th. This fight was booked for UFC 257 back in January but Waterson later withdrew.
Instead of taking on Waterson as planned, Ribas (11-2) began her 2021 with a second-round TKO loss to Marina Rodriguez, ending her unbeaten run inside the Octagon. She bounced back at UFC 267 in October with a unanimous decision over Virna Jandiroba. Her most notable wins are a decision over Mackenzie Dern and an armbar finish of Paige VanZant.
