The 33-year-old Lowe has won four of his six appearances since exiting the UFC in 2011. He most recently competed at XFC International 4, where his bout with Marcos Rodrigues dos Santos was ruled a no contest.
Ribeiro, meanwhile, has won three straight fights. In his last outing, he captured XFC’s inaugural featherweight title with a five-round decision over Farkhad Sharipov on Dec. 13. “Deivison Dragon” is 25-9 as a professional overall, with 14 of his wins coming by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
