Okay, so I’ve been following the UFC scene for a while now, and the upcoming fight between Amanda Ribas and Rose Namajunas really caught my eye. I mean, we’re talking about a former champ versus a rising star, so naturally, I had to dig in and make my own prediction.
I started by looking at the betting odds. At first, Rose was the favorite at -185, but then she went to -210. It’s clear that folks are putting their money on her. But hey, odds are just part of the story, right?
So, I went deeper. I watched a bunch of their previous fights. Rose, man, she’s a beast. Her striking is so clean, and she’s got that killer instinct. I remembered that when Ribas got knocked down in the past, she lost twice by TKO. That’s a big deal. It got me thinking, maybe Rose could win this by KO/TKO too.

- Watched a lot of Rose’s fights.
- Checked out Ribas’s record, especially when she got knocked down.
- Noticed that she had a couple of TKO losses after getting knocked down.
Then I checked out what some of the experts were saying. A lot of them were leaning towards Rose, and some were even predicting a KO/TKO finish. The more I looked into it, the more I felt like that was a real possibility. It just made sense to me.
I also considered the whole “Luck Ratings” thing for UFC Vegas 89. I mean, luck can play a part, but in this case, I think skill and past performance are way more important. I tried to find some good predictions and picks for the fight, comparing stats and all that. It was a lot of info to take in, but it helped me get a clearer picture.
My Final Thoughts
After all this digging around, I’m pretty confident in my prediction. I’m going with Rose Namajunas winning by KO/TKO, probably around the fourth round. It just feels like the most likely outcome based on what I’ve seen. Of course, anything can happen in a fight, but I’m feeling good about this one. It’s gonna be a great fight, and I can’t wait to see if my prediction comes true!
This whole process was kind of a blast, and it definitely made me more hyped for the fight. Plus, it’s always fun to put your knowledge to the test and see if you can call it. Win or lose, I’m just excited for a good show!
