The Brazilian duel that closed the preliminary card of UFC 267, this Saturday, at Ilha da Luta, in Abu Dhabi (USA), ended better for Amanda Ribas. The girl from Minas suffered in the first round with the jiu-jitsu of Virna Jandiroba, but recovered well in the following rounds, imposed her striking and won by unanimous decision (triple 29-28).

Virna didn’t take long to get to the ground and attacked the opponent’s legs in the first seconds, but Ribas defended the takedown well. Amanda even tried to use judo to go to the ground, but it was Carcará who managed to take him down with about 3m30s to the end of the round. On top, she neutralized her rival and, in the final seconds, when the referee ordered them to stand, Jandiroba even hit a right that threw Ribas off balance.

In the second round, Amanda managed to let go of her standing game and started to connect more punches. She kept the fight in the standup for five minutes and showed more speed and technique than her compatriot. In the last round, Ribas kept defending Virna’s takedown attempts well, kept the intense pace on his feet and shook his rival when he landed a kick to the head.

Capoeira punishes rival and wins on points after bad refereeing
–
Elizeu Capoeira rediscovered the path to victory and was not only knocked out by the weak performance of central referee Vyacheslav Kiselev. With an overwhelming performance in the second round, the Brazilian imposed a harsh punishment on Benoit Saint-Denis, who showed a resistant chin, did not fall, but already appeared to be knocked out standing up, changing his legs while walking in the octagon. The referee let the match run and, in the third round, took a point from the CM System athlete for hitting an illegal blow. Even so, Elizeu came out with the unanimous decision victory (triple 29-26)
