Brazil’s Amanda Ribas was determined to fight in her homeland, and her persistence paid off on Saturday. Ribas (9-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) was originally scheduled to fight Paige Van Zant at UFC on ESPN+ 28 in Brasilia. When VanZant had to pull out due to an arm injury, she requested to move the fight back a month. But Ribas refused, wanting to keep the bout in Brazil, and Canada’s Randa Markos stepped in to take the strawweight fight.
