Amanda Ribas has a reputation as one of the sweetest fighters on the UFC roster, and it seems she’s not doing anything to battle that image.
The strawweight took to her social media today to call out Yan Xiaonan for a contest, but made sure to do it in her own style — basically ensuring there were no hard feelings at all.
“Heyy @yanxiaonan how are you? I was thinking..almost all fighters in our weight division have a scheduled fight..How about schedule ours too?I think it would be a GREAAT fight,” she wrote on her twitter earlier this morning.

Ribas is considered one of the up and comers in her division, with slick jiu-jitsu skills that have seen her climb the rankings. While she last came up short against Marina Rodriguez, a fight with Xiaonan — another fighter on the rise — would put her back on the map.
