Combate was first to report the booking. UFC Fight Night takes
place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and does not yet have a
confirmed headliner.
Ribas is returning to 115 pounds following a 1-2 stint at
flyweight, where she bested Viviane
Araujo but lost bouts to Maycee
Barber and Katlyn
Chookagian. The 30-year-old Brazilian began her Octagon tenure
with victories in five of her first six appearances.
A competitor on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2020, Pinheiro has
kicked off her UFC career with three consecutive triumphs. Most
recently, the Nova Uniao representative garnered a split decision
win over former Invicta FC champ Michelle Waterson at UFC 287.
