For former Invicta FC strawweight champion, Jandiroba, she will also make her second Octagon walk of this year, having returned to the winner's enclosure last month at UFC Vegas 29 -- scoring a second round doctor's stoppage victory over Kanako Murata who suffered a forearm injury.

Minas Gerais native, Ribas is in line to make her sixth walk under the UFC's banner, having established a 4-1 record during her brief UFC stint so far. The 27-year-old managed to debut with a rear-naked choke win over Emily Whitmire, before taking unanimous decision successes against both Mackenzie Dern and Randa Markos.

 

Prior to her knockout loss to Rodriguez, Ribas took home a high-profile first round armbar win over upcoming BKFC headliner, Paige VanZant last July at UFC 251 -- also on 'Fight Island'.

17-2 as a professional, Jandiroba has managed to lodge an eye-catching 13 separate submission wins across her career, including two under the UFC's banner. 

A four-fight veteran of the UFC, the former Invicta FC gold holder went on a 2-0 run prior to a unanimous judging loss to common-foe, Dern, which included an armbar win over division mainstay, Felice Herrig and a rear-naked choke success against Mallory Martin.
