Arthur Ribas has been a crucial part of Amanda Ribas’ preparation for UFC fights. Now, he wants to join his sister in the cage.
The 28-year-old welterweight hasn’t fought since 2015, when he suffered his only loss as a professional fighter. But after working as his sister’s conditioning coach and corner in a win over Paige VanZant, he wants to give it another try.
Arthur Ribas holds a 5-1 record — Tapology only lists three of his victories, but he claims he stopped two opponents prior to a one-night, eight-man grand prix he won in 2014 — and recently started sparring again after many years away from the game.
