Paige VanZant and Ribas will collide at UFC 251 on July 11 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi which will mark the beginning of the historic UFC Fight Island. The fight will be Paige VanZant’s first in almost 18 months, having picked up a submission win in her last Octagon outing back in January 2019 over Rachael Ostovich. Paige VanZant was sidelined due to arm injuries following the fight against Rachel.
While Paige VanZant remains confident about getting back into the cage against Ribas, the oddsmakers don’t seem to think the former has a chance against Ribas, who is riding three-straight wins in the UFC over Emily Whitmire, Mackenzie Dern, and Randa Markos respectively.
Given below are the odds for the fight (via BestFightOdds):

VanZant starts as the overwhelming underdog while Ribas is the favorite. While it’s clear that the oddsmakers don’t believe VanZant could win, she will be looking for a big win on the night as the fight is the last one on her current UFC contract, following which she intends to test free agency.
