Two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas moved up to flyweight this past fall and stays there as she headlines this Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 53. She will face Amanda Ribas who will headline a UFC event for the first time.
Namajunas comes from a loss at flyweight against Manon Fiorot. She broke her finger early in the fight.
In the co-main event heavyweights Justin Tafa and Karl Williams will square off in a three-rounder. Tafa enters the fight with three straight first-round knockout wins but is still an underdog.
The card will also feature fighters like middleweight Edmen Shahbazyan and featherweight Billy Quarantillo.
