UFC 285 features a women’s flyweight showdown between #8 Viviane Araújo and Amanda Ribas at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This fight will take place on the preliminary card which will stream on ESPN+ PPV starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Araújo (11-4) is looking to bounce back from an unanimous decision loss to Alexa Grasso last October.

Araújo is very talented and a win here could bolt her back into the top 5 women’s flyweight category.

Ribas (10-3) is also reeling, dropping two of her last three fights after an impressive 4-0 start to her UFC career. In her last fight she suffered a split decision loss to Katlyn Chookagian last May. Like Araújo she has struggled with the top competition in the division.
