14 Wild UFC Fights You'd Be A Fool To Miss In January

11. Amanda Ribas Vs. Marina Prachnio - UFC 257

It's been a pleasure watching the UFC women's weight classes blossom over the last few years. From 145lb to 115lb, we've seen a whole host of female fighters compete inside the Octagon. One of the latest - and most impressive - is the extremely talented, Amanda Ribas.

The Brazilian has shown that she's got all the skills to become a threat to both flyweight and strawweight weight classes. Her striking is crisp and accurate and her submission grappling skills are a sight to behold.

Although anyone would be a fool to think Marina Rodriguez is a walkover. She lost a split decision to former 115lb champion, Carla Esparza,in her last fight, but has proven in previous Octagon outings that she's got more than enough tools to get a victory.

However, Ribas has the potential to be the next star to come out of the UFC and if she can win this bout, 2021 could be a huge year for her.
