Report: VanZant-Ribas rescheduled for Fight Island in July
A flyweight bout between Paige VanZant and Amanda Ribas has been rebooked for July 11, sources told MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz and Damon Martin.
The fight is expected to take place at a yet-to-be-announced event on Fight Island. VanZant hinted at the location in an Instagram post on Thursday.
VanZant and Ribas were slated to face off at strawweight in Brazil during March, but the former was forced to withdraw after suffering her third arm fracture since January 2018.
Ribas stayed on the card and beat Randa Markos via unanimous decision.
Meanwhile, VanZant - who only has one fight left on her UFC contract - most recently defeated Rachael Ostovich with a second-round submission in January 2019.
VanZant has said she intends to test free agency after completing her current deal with the promotion.
