The no.7 ranked UFC Strawweight, Amanda Ribas, will move up a weight and test herself against the former two-time UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas, at the UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas this weekend. Ribas has the momentum on her side as she is coming off of a KO win against Luana Pinheiro. Her current form, along with her fruity personality, has her as a fan favorite for the main event this Saturday.
Amanda Ribas made her debut in the promotion back in 2019 and has been a fighter to look out for in her division. Given that she is one of the fan favorites in the division, people wonder about the UFC strawweight’s relationship. So here is a peek into Amanda Ribas’ personal life.

Amanda Ribas, as of right now, is single, according to sources and her social media handles. The 30-year-old used to date a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner named Julio Arantes. But there are reasons to speculate that the two have broken up as of now. Since Amanda Ribas isn’t one to give too much of her personal life out to the public, it all boils down to assumptions.

But given that the Brazilian has taken down the majority of the pictures of Julio Arantes from her Instagram account, it is safe to assume that the UFC star doesn’t want her 2.8 million Instagram followers to think that she is in a relationship. And this happened both ways as Arantes removed pictures of Ribas from his social media accounts, too.
Amanda Ribas is certainly one of the more interesting fighters in the roster with a charming personality to back up her lethal skills inside the Octagon. However, she might have her hands full going up against a determined Rose Namajunas who seem to be having a little skid in her career.

I want to put on a spectacular performance, and I really want to make a statement… The top of the division is really interesting, but I really want to make a statement so that I can put my name in the mix and really get a title shot as soon as possible.”
