“I think I settled in. No one can accommodate themselves, not just fighters, no one. When we settle, life comes and knocks you out, and that's what happened to me. I was winning the first round, and in the second I settled down and took it. That was one thing I learned. For this fight with Angela Hill, I so want to win! Of course I wanted to win the other fight, but I want more of this one”, said the Brazilian.

Beaten by compatriot Marina Rodriguez No. UFC 257, Ribas said he felt an urgency to return to competing. Thus, the athlete took on the challenge of exchanging forces against an opponent who is behind in the rankings and explained the decision.

“Everyone in my category already had a fight, and the (opponents) I was asking for weren't working out enough to fight. The UFC offered the Angela Hill, and that's good, because if I stay still everyone will fight and then. The good thing is that the Angela Hill She is very experienced, she is very active inside the octagon. If the UFC needs it, it's Angela Hill (what they call it), she has a lot of fight. That’s good for me, she’s well-regarded,” said the athlete.

Since her debut in Ultimate, Amanda has been surprising with her qualities in MMA. Before the defeat to Rodriguez, the Minas Gerais native boasted a perfect trajectory in the company, with four impressive victories.

If he wins this weekend, Ribas will be able to resume his journey towards the top of the category, which is now led by Rose namajunas.

Experienced in MMA, Angela is going through an unstable moment in Ultimate. In her last appointment, the North American hit Ashley yoder and ended a streak of two defeats.
