Strawweights Amanda
Ribas (13-5) and Mackenzie
Dern (14-5) will run it back at UFC
Tampa near the end of the year.
Ribas will take on Dern at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on
Dec. 14. The matchup was first reported by Ag.Fight.
Dern will have the chance to avenge a unanimous decision loss
against Ribas that occurred at UFC Fight Night 161 in October 2019.
Dern bounced back from that loss with a four-fight winning streak
that included three finishes. Currently 2-2 in her past four, Dern
is fresh off a unanimous decision win over Lupita
Godinez at UFC on ABC 7 on Aug. 3.
Meanwhile, Ribas’ initial win over Dern was part of a four-fight
winning streak to start her UFC journey. The Brazilian has
alternated wins and losses in her last eight outings, most recently
suffering a unanimous decision defeat against Rose
Namajunas in a flyweight bout this past March.
