Here's the fight video of Amanda Ribas vs Luana Pinheiro from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Both fighters are from Minas Gerais, Brazil. As teens, they lived together in judo camp. Amanda is 30 years old. She trains with her father Marcello Ribas. Her UFC record is 6-3. She has fought at Flyweight and Strawweight. I like her at Strawweight and I hope she stays there as she has a size advantage. Luana is 31 years old. She trains at BH Rhinos with Cristiano Lazzarini.. She got into the UFC via Contender Series. She's 3-0 in the UFC but Amanda is at a higher competition level. Luana started out well in round one. She was swinging hard and landed enough to win the round 10-9. But She looked tired when she came out for round two and Amanda roared back and landed a spinning wheel kick to the head that should have knocked Luana down but the fence held her up. A couple more punches knocked Luana down and the ref stopped the fight. Amanda wins by TKO and she gets a $50,000 bonus. A couple of wins against top fighters and I could see Amanda as a Strawweight title contender. Enjoy the video!
