Eighth-ranked women’s flyweight Amanda Ribas headlines this weekend’s UFC Vegas 89 fight card against former two-time strawweight titleholder Rose Namajunas . Heading into the biggest fight of her career, Ribas has prepared for best Namajunas possible. “I always put in my mind that I will face the best Rose Namajunas ever,” Ribas said during the UFC Vegas 89 Media Day. ”I’m trained for the best of her.” Ribas (13-4) is coming off a stunning spinning wheel kick finish over Luana Pinheiro in her last fight but hasn’t put together back-to-back wins since 2020. She plans to change that on Saturday. Ribas hopes a win over Namajunas will garner her a Top 5 ranked opponent next.
