Amanda Ribas and Tabatha Ricci have agreed to face off within the undercard of UFC 318 on July 19, a number of sources confirmed to MMA Preventing following a report by MMA Mania.
The pay-per-view present will probably be headlined by Louisiana’s personal Dustin Poirier making his retirement struggle in New Orleans, dealing with BMF titleholder Max Holloway in a five-round conflict.
Ribas (12-6) received 5 of seven as a strawweight within the UFC, which features a 2021 determination towards now-ranked No. 1 at 115 kilos Virna Jandiroba. Ribas modified weight lessons continually within the promotion, bringing her general UFC document all the way down to 7-5, and he or she now makes an attempt to snap a two-fight skid versus Rose Namajunas and Mackenzie Dern.
Ricci (11-3) was victorious in six of her eight UFC bouts at 115 kilos after shedding a flyweight match to Manon Fiorot in her debut again in 2021, topping veterans similar to Gillian Robertson, Angela Hill and Tecia Pennington, and appears to get again to the successful column following a defeat to Yan Xiaonan this previous November.
