Way to go @amandaribasufc Wow! Beautiful arm bar! #UFCFightIsland

Amazing how quickly Ribas scores the submission against Paige Vanzant, who is one of the more durable fighters in the division.

Well that was quick. And Paige goes to Bellator.

She almost lost the scarf hold after allowing PVZ to lock hands for leverage, but Ribas flows and secures so well on the fly – even checks on her opponent after. All class. #UFC251

Great work by Amanda. Beautiful transition

Another armbar in women’s UFC. They’re far more common with the ladies. #UFC251

That headlock position sucks to be in. Quite annoying #UFC251

— Brian Kelleher (@brianboom135) July 12, 2020

Jesus, Paige VanZant is terrible and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a young, talented athlete rapidly regress to the extent she has in MMA. It’s mind boggling.

Off to a quick start!! #UFC251

Hip throw is the women’s mma kryptonite #UFC251

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 12, 2020

Not a huge fan of the scarf position but Ribas is very dangerous from there. Impressive stuff #UFC251

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) July 12, 2020

That was the old Joe Silva special. Send PVZ into free agency off a bad matchup that inevitably leads to bad loss. We’ve seen that one for years. #UFC251

Her corner tryin to steal her shine relax bro

Paige just took a huge pay cut in free agency, that performance was terrible.
