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.

Finds range late in victory
Ribas defeated Luana Pinheiro via TKO (strikes) at 3:35 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
If you've seen one Ribas fight, you've seen them all. She lacks technical skill on the feet and almost always ends up in a brawl, but she's tough as nails and has shown an ability to continue to push forward despite whatever her opponent is sending back her way. Simply put, she broke Pinheiro in this fight. With the bout tied at a round apiece, Ribas turned up the aggression, and Luana crumbled. That's the good news (as well as the fact Ribas earned a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus). The bad news is that Amanda's style of fighting makes it difficult to string together victories, as evidenced by the fact she has alternated wins and losses in her past eight fights. We'll see if this late surge can get her going. Ribas is still just 30 years of age.

Next fight scheduled
Ribas (eye) will fight Luana Pinheiro in a strawweight bout at UFC Vegas 82 on Nov. 18, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ribas did not need much time to recover from her eye injury and will try to fight at least once more in 2023. Pinheiro is undefeated across her last nine fights and UFC career so far.
