So I don't see a single soul talking about this fight lol. This fight is hella interesting fight. Virna looked like a beast in her last fight, and Ribas was looking great until she ran into Marina.

I remember someone, well more than a few unhappy that Ribas-Hill got cancelled because they thought Hill would beat her, but I do think Ribas is better than someone like Hill, with all due respect.

This fight is going to be a banger. I'm not sure who is going to win this fight either. And they both will bring it.

Ribas vs Virna tomorrow!

Am I reading this correctly that Ribas is probably the better technical striker and the other one is a seasoned grappler?

Both are good grapplers. Ribas isn't a better technical striker, but Yirna is more wild and hits hard. Not sure how this is going to work

I think Ribas want this fight down I think. But yeah, I guess it's all relative, I guess you can say Ribas is a better technical striker haha but Ribas is basic, but then so is Virna, but I think Virna hits harder

To be honest, I'm not sure how this fight goes. I do think Ribas will do what she always do, and Virna will what she always do. Throw hands and take takedowns if it's there, I really think it's going to be Ribas wanting the fight down more and maybe she has better TDs off clinch.
 
Ribas is hot. Nice to have these sub specialist transitioning from bjj. She's got heart which is in my book one of the most desired attributes.

I don't like this fight for Ribas. But then again Ribas could look good in this fight, but I like this fight better for Virna, but then again, Ribas looked phenomenal against Markos, and Virna is no Marina.

Could go either way, but the winner might look dominant.

I can’t picture ribas winning the grappling situation to be honest. I’ve watched virna scrap a few times and it seems like once it hits the mat the other ladies get completely out muscled. Not on the technical level of say…Dern? But still enough to bully a lot of people. Is ribas that good on the ground that it would be a legit game plan for her?
 
eh ill check results before watching that fight, if it isnt a first round finish i wont bother with it.
 
By the transitive property of fighting shouldn’t Ribas have a good shot at this? She beat Dern who beat Virna. And if I remember right I think Dern dominated Virna.

That doesn't always work. I can't quite recall, but Dern dominated Virna by going forward pressure throw hands work TDs that she never got I think?

This is what I will say. If Ribas that showed up against Markos shows up against Virna, I got Ribas all day.

But we will see. Tough fight to call.

The Dern that ribas fought was on a different level than Dern once she got focused and back on track.
 
It is an interesting fight

Simple MMA Math says Ribas > Dern > Jandiroba (& with them all being grapplers where striking was decisive in each of those fights the math should 'work out')
Ribas has the advantage in that she's a Judo playa while Dern and Jandiroba are merely Basically Just Judo grapplers so are takedownically-challenged.
Plus she has better hands/movement than them.

But I can't quite shake the 'fragile pretty girl' vs erm, 'buff tough not quite so pretty' girl vibes even though Jandiroba is no Rodriguez on the feet...

I think Virna looked really good against that girl. Ribas looked phenomenal against Markos a while back.

I don't think Virna subs Ribas off her back so I think so. Ribas wasn't scared of going to the ground with Dern, she wouldn't be scared of Virna who didn't want none of Dern on the ground.

I think Ribas that showed up against Markos beats Virna that looked amazing in her last fight.

I legit think they will come in with the game plan they always do. But I haven't really try to break this fight down, but I don't like this fight for Ribas, but I think if she shows up like she did against Markos, I got Ribas against best Virna.

War Ribas but this won't be an easy one and I wouldn't count out Virna. I'm surprised they're throwing her to the wolves rather than helping build her.
 
With that said however, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Virna beats Ribas. They are both very good in my book.

However, I think Ribas that showed up against Markos beats best Virna.

I think it depends if Ribas getting ktfo twice in one fight and Covid has any impact on her too

I don't like this fight for Ribas. There are easier fights. I don't know where she's at mentally or physically either.

Yes, that's Ribas bread and butter. Groundwork.
