Amanda Ribas won five of six UFC bouts in her natural weight class of 115 pounds, a contrast to her 2-3 run as a flyweight, but there’s a reason why she won’t rule out going back up to 125 pounds.

Ribas headlines Saturday night’s UFC Vegas 101 show at the UFC APEX in a rematch with Mackenzie Dern, one of her first victims inside the octagon, and hopes to insert her name in the conversation for a shot at the gold after Tatiana Suarez challenges Zhang Weili.
