Amanda Ribas had a stellar 2020 with two impressive wins against the likes of Paige VanZant, and Randa Markos that skyrocketed her stock. The American Top Team fighter has improved considerably since her debut in the UFC. Now, she will be aiming to build on her success from last year and start off the year well. 

Ribas is currently on a five-fight win streak with finishes in two of those five fights. She takes on arguably her toughest challenge to date in Marina Rodriguez at UFC 257 on Fight Island. However, being on the same card as Conor McGregor has meant that not a lot of attention has been put on any other fight other than the main event at UFC 257.

In a recent pre-fight press conference, the Brazilian fighter was asked to make her pick for the main event at UFC 257.

The Brazilian fighter made the most of the opportunity and has won every fight in the UFC. Ribas is only 27, and trains at one of the best gyms in the world at ATT, therefore she will surely progress leaps and bounds ahead of every fight.
