Amanda Ribas to Face Luana Pinheiro at UFC Fight Night on Nov. 18

Amanda Ribas will square off against Luana Pinheiro in a strawweight clash at UFC Fight Night on Nov. 18 on Nov. 18.

Combate was first to report the booking. UFC Fight Night takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and does not yet have a confirmed headliner.

Ribas is returning to 115 pounds following a 1-2 stint at flyweight, where she bested Viviane Araujo but lost bouts to Maycee Barber and Katlyn Chookagian. The 30-year-old Brazilian began her Octagon tenure with victories in five of her first six appearances.

A competitor on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2020, Pinheiro has kicked off her UFC career with three consecutive triumphs. Most recently, the Nova Uniao representative garnered a split decision win over former Invicta FC champ Michelle Waterson at UFC 287.
