The current WWE Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, is one of the most accomplished female wrestlers today. She was seen at the UFC 299 event at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. In fact, she was especially there to watch the match of fellow Aussie UFC fighter, Jack Della Maddalena. 

Ripley took to X and expressed her delight with a video when the crowd was fully behind Jack. He fought against Gilbert Burns in a welterweight bout and eventually won the match with a knockout. The Aussie is number 11 in the welterweight division and has won 17 matches out of a total of 19.

However, Mami’s focus was not only on Jack’s match; she also watched the bantamweight bout between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera. The 27-year-old star expressed her happiness about Sean’s knockout victory over Vera.

As for Ripley, she will defend her title against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. The Man won the Elimination Chamber match by defeating the likes of Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan. It will be interesting to see whether Becky finally dethrones Rhea to win the world title or if Mami continues to dominate the whole division.

You know what? I might do some like, practice runs with possibly myself and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania and see how it goes.
