The UFC 267 prelims will end with a women’s strawweight fight between Amanda Ribas and Virna Jandiroba. Both fighters will enter the octagon for the second time this year and will look to impress everyone watching.
Ribas will enter the fight on the back of a defeat in her previous bout. She went up against the number 3 ranked Marina Rodriguez at UFC 257 and lost the fight via TKO in the second round. Prior to the loss, Ribas was on a five-fight win streak and will now look to bounce back strongly from her previous loss.
Jandiroba, on the other hand, is coming off an impressive TKO win in her last fight. She beat Kanako Murata at UFC Vegas 29 in the second round. The win also marked her first-ever win by TKO. ‘Carcara’ would look to keep the winning momentum going and break into the top 10 of the division.

UFC 267: Amanda Ribas vs. Virna Jandiroba
The matchup is an interesting one, as both fighters like to dominate their opponents with their grappling abilities. Amanda Ribas has won four fights via submission in her career but is also no slouch on her feet. She mixes her strikes and movement well to set up the takedowns well.
Meanwhile, Ribas will also have a 2-inch reach advantage over her opponent, which might come in handy. The Brazilian fighter also has an 86 percent takedown defense, which can be a huge factor against a wrestler like Jandiroba.

Virna Jandiroba is one of the most effective wrestlers in the strawweight division. Out of the 17 wins in her career, 13 have come via submission, which shows how dominant she is once the fight goes to the ground. She also seems to have improved her stand-up game and looked comfortable on her feet in her previous fight.
However, taking Ribas on won’t be a simple task. Also, her opponent has beaten a great grappler in Mackenzie Dern before, who Jandiroba had earlier lost to.
