UFC Vegas 89: What's at stake in the main event?
No. 8-ranked flyweight contender Amanda Ribas is coming off a sensational knockout victory over Luana Pinheiro. She has been altering between wins and losses in her last six fights.
However, Ribas amassed a solid four-fight winning streak before hitting a rough patch in her career. The Brazilian will look to return to a winning streak with a potential triumph over a high-profile opponent this weekend.
Rose Namajunas, a former two-time UFC strawweight champion, has lost her last two fights. The 31-year-old surrendered the 115-pound title to Carla Esparza in their championship rematch at UFC 274. Rising flyweight contender Manon Fiorot then defeated Namajunas in the American's divisional debut in September 2023.
Both women will attempt to get into flyweight title contention with a win this weekend. At the time writing, Namajunas is a -200 favorite over +150 underdog Ribas.
The co-main event will feature a heavyweight showdown between Karl Williams and Justin Tafa.
