UFC Vegas 89 will showcase the talent of two battle-tested women who look to leave their mark in the flyweight division. Rose Namajunas and Amanda Ribas will be the last two to make the walk to the Octagon inside the UFC APEX on Saturday.
Former UFC strawweight champ Rose Namajunas will look to bounce back from a two-fight losing streak and show the world that she is not done. Her mission is to once again become a champion, but this time in the flyweight division. Amanda Ribas is a great test for Rose. If Rose can adapt to avoid the power that Ribas possesses and dictate her pace in the fight, we might see a Rose Namajunas rebirth.
Flyweight contender Amanda Ribas can add to her growing resume with a win over a two-time world champion like Rose Namajunas. The opportunity to get a win over a recognizable name doesn’t happen often, and if Ribas can capitalize and walk out the victor then that could be powerful to help her slide up the ranks, no matter if Rose is on a losing streak or not.
