Fatima
\nKline<\/a> believes she can leapfrog up the rankings with a finish
\nin her next fight. <\/p>\n

Kline is scheduled to fight Amanda
\nRibas<\/a> in a strawweight clash at UFC
\nOklahoma City<\/a> on July 18 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Kline is
\nkeen on stopping Ribas inside the distance. \u201cThe Archangel\u201d
\nbelieves she won\u2019t be very far from the title picture with a finish
\nover Ribas. The 25-year-old wants to start calling out Top 5-ranked
\nstrawweight contenders if she finishes Ribas.<\/p>\n

Looking to Make a Statement<\/h2>\n

\u201cI want to finish Amanda\u2026 Finishing Amanda puts me very close [to
\nthe title],\u201d Kline told Home of Fight<\/a>. \u201cI know Tatiana [Suarez] just won her
\nfight, I know Gillian
\nRobertson<\/a> just won her fight. This division is wide open for me
\nto take it and run with it. And that\u2019s exactly what I plan on
\ndoing. I really want to get close to the Top 5, and I want to start
\ntaking out names and showing people that this is my division.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kline (9-1) suffered her lone professional loss against Jasmine
\nJasudavicius<\/a> in her
\nUFC<\/a> debut in 2024. Kline has since racked up three consecutive
\nwins with two finishes. Meanwhile, Ribas (12-7) has now dropped
\nthree in a row, getting stopped inside the distance in her last
\ntwo. <\/p>\n
