A strawweight tilt pitting Amanda
Ribas against Virna
Jandiroba has been added to the
UFC 267 bill.
Combate was first to report the matchup. UFC 267 will take
place on Oct. 30 in Abu Dhabi and is expected to be headlined by a
light heavyweight championshp bout between Jan
Blachowicz and Glover
Teixeira.
Ribas kicked off her promotional tenure with four consecutive
triumphs before falling to Marina
Rodriguez via second-round TKO in her most recent outing at UFC
257. She was twice booked to face Angela Hill
but both times the fight fell through due to COVID-19 issues for
the Brazilian. The 27-year-old Marcelo Ribas Team product is 10-2
over the course of her professional career, with seven triumphs
coming inside the distance.
Jandiroba has won three of her last four Octagon appearances. Most
recently, she stopped Kanako
Murata via second-round TKO at UFC on ESPN 25 on June 19. The
former Invicta FC title holder also owns submission wins over
Felice
Herrig and Mallory
Martin in UFC competition, and has finished 13 of her 17 pro
triumphs by tapout.
