The UFC continues in March with a stacked fight night event with two of the best women’s flyweight contenders in the world colliding in the main event. Ribas is now on the heels of wins in two out of her last three consecutive, most recently knocking out Luana Pinheiro in the third round. As for Namajunas, she moved up in weight to the flyweight division in her last fight but ultimately dropped a close decision to one of the top contenders Manon Fiorot A win for either of these two flyweights put them right into the thick of things in the wide-open flyweight division.
In the co-main event, we have a fight between two heavyweights colliding as Karl Williams and Justin Tafa go to battle. Williams is undefeated in his short stint with the UFC going 2-0 with back-to-back decision victories after securing his contract on the Contender Series in 2022. As for Tafa, he was originally scheduled to fight Marcos Rogerio de Lima but suffered an injury just a day before the fight where his brother Junior Tafa stepped in to fight. Now that his brother Junior will not be able to fight, he is stepping in on short notice for his brother. Tafa has now won three straight fights and will be looking to extend his winning streak to four when he steps inside the octagon this weekend.
