Next, the UFC boss revealed that former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas will face 9th ranked flyweight Amanda Ribas at the UFC Fight Night event taking place on March 23 at UFC APEX.
Namajunas recently fought flyweight contender Manon Fiorot, losing by decision. She will be looking to break into the top ten at flyweight – a spot well deserved by Ribas who is coming off a brilliant spinning wheel kick against Luana Pinheiro.
It was previously announced that the UFC would return to Atlantic City on March 30 and AC will now host its main event.
It will be No. 7-ranked welterweight Sean Brady riding the momentum of his dominant win over Kelvin Gastelum against all-action finisher and No. 9-ranked Vicente Luque. This is an important fight for the welterweight contender landscape.
Finally, White dropped another fantastic fight to go along with the already high-profile matchups at UFC 300.
