Set to fight Namajunas

Finds range late in victory
Ribas defeated Luana Pinheiro via TKO (strikes) at 3:35 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
If you've seen one Ribas fight, you've seen them all. She lacks technical skill on the feet and almost always ends up in a brawl, but she's tough as nails and has shown an ability to continue to push forward despite whatever her opponent is sending back her way. Simply put, she broke Pinheiro in this fight. With the bout tied at a round apiece, Ribas turned up the aggression, and Luana crumbled. That's the good news (as well as the fact Ribas earned a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus). The bad news is that Amanda's style of fighting makes it difficult to string together victories, as evidenced by the fact she has alternated wins and losses in her past eight fights. We'll see if this late surge can get her going. Ribas is still just 30 years of age.

Next fight scheduled
Ribas (eye) will fight Luana Pinheiro in a strawweight bout at UFC Vegas 82 on Nov. 18, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ribas did not need much time to recover from her eye injury and will try to fight at least once more in 2023. Pinheiro is undefeated across her last nine fights and UFC career so far.

Inconsistent ways continue
Ribas lost to Maycee Barber via TKO (strikes) at 3:42 of Round 2 at UFC on ABC 5 on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a surprising and hefty -210 favorite, Ribas landed a takedown and generated more than a minute worth of control time in each round. The good times ended there. She was busted open in the early going by Barber and found herself leaking blood the entire way. Amanda's defense has been questionable at times, and she entered the evening with a pair of knockout defeats on her resume, but it would be impossible to blame Ribas for not being able to hang on in this one. No fighter would have been able to survive the onslaught Maycee unleashed in Round 2. Set to turn 30 years of age in late August, Ribas began her UFC career with four straight wins, but she's been below .500 since, alternating losses and wins in her past five bouts.
