Set to take on Ricci
Ribas will face Tabatha Ricci in a flyweight bout at UFC 318 on July 19, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ribas has dropped her last two fights, but perhaps more importantly, both have come in main events. She will aim to bounce back in this fight, though she'll be facing an opponent who has gone 6-2 over her last eight fights.

Second straight main event loss
Ribas lost to Mackenzie Dern via submission (armbar) at 4:56 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a second straight main event loss for Ribas, this as a -200 favorite. That should be more than enough to remove her from the fringes of the title conversation for the foreseeable future. Ribas was able to stuff all six of Dern's takedown attempts when the two first met back in October 2019. Here, she gave up one and 4:34 worth of control time in less than three rounds. Amanda must have known the armbar that closed the show was going to do some serious damage because she tapped immediately with just four seconds remaining in the round and didn't even try to fight it off. Ribas is more than capable of winning her fair share of fights, but she's not on the same level as the top female fighters on the roster.

Looking for first win of 2024
Ribas will fight Mackenzie Dern in a flyweight matchup at a UFC Vegas 101 on Jan. 11, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ribas will look for her eighth UFC win and first win since 2023 after being defeated by Rose Namajunas by unanimous decision in her sole matchup of 2024. The Brazilian flyweight will see a familiar opponent, as she defeated Dern via unanimous decision back in 2019.

Drops main event in Vegas
Ribas lost to Rose Namajunas via unanimous decision (46-49, 46-49, 47-48) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Ribas was plenty competitive, although it was always abundantly clear she didn't do enough to win. Amanda is, first and foremost, a brawler. She had zero chance of matching the technical skill of Namajunas on the feet, so she went to her grappling. She had some success there at times, but also made plenty of mistakes that gave Rose dominant positions. That's why Namajunas finished with 6:59 worth of control time compared to 1:38 for Ribas despite the fact it was Amanda with a 4-1 takedown edge. Amanda began her UFC run with four straight wins, but has alternated losses and wins in her next seven bouts. She's solid roster depth, but nothing more at this stage.

Set to fight Namajunas
Ribas will fight Rose Namajunas (hand) at UFC Vegas 88 on March 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a win over Luana Pinheiro in November, Ribas will look to string together consecutive victories for the first time since 2020. The 30-year-old Brazilian is 3-3 in her last six fights.
