Mackenzie Dern is reportedly set to face off against Amanda Ribas in a rematch at UFC Tampa Bay later this year.
For the longest time, Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas have been two of the most notable names in women’s mixed martial arts. From their fight styles to their personalities, they have become real fan favorites in recent years. Back in October 2019, they even squared off against one another. On that night in Tampa, Ribas won and brought an end to Dern’s unbeaten run in the sport.

Now, five years later, they’ll run it back in the exact same arena in Florida. The news was first reported by Ag. Fight as both individuals attempt to build some real momentum back up following a tough stretch of fights. For Dern, she defeated Loopy Godinez a few weeks back to end a two-bout losing streak. For Ribas, though, she fell short against Rose Namajunas in March and has been itching to get back in the cage ever since.
Hopefully, we’ll get the chance to see both women at their very best once again.
