Here's the fight video of Amanda Ribas vs Viviane Araujo from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight was at Flyweight. Amanda is 29 years old from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Her father is her coach. She fights at Strawweight and Flyweight. She lost her last fight to Katlyn Chookagian by split decision. And then her December fight against Tracy Cortez was cancelled at the last minute. Amanda says that she fights in both weight classes so she fights frequently. The fight cancellations frustrate her. Viviane is 36 years old from Brasilia, Brazil. She trains at Cerrado MMA with coach Daniel Evangilista. Her October loss to Alexa Grasso probably cost her a title shot. I expected a pretty good fight. Round one was very close. I scored it 10-9 for Amanda. Two of the judges scored it the same. Amanda dominated round two enough to score it 10-8 for Amanda. Two of the judges scored it the same. Viviane had nothing left in round three so that round was 10-9 for Amanda. So I scored the fight 30-26 for Amanda. The judges scored it 29-27, 30-26, 30-27 for Amanda. Mike Bell was the 29-27. He scored round one 10-9 for Viviane and round two 10-8 for Amanda. This was a good win for Amanda. She said afterwards that she would like to fight Carla Esparza. Enjoy the video!
