About Tabatha Ricci
Judo and pressure in search of stability among the elite
Tabatha Ricci came to the UFC with a solid background in judo and jiu-jitsu and quickly found her place at strawweight. After a short-notice debut at flyweight, she returned to her natural division and began piling up wins.
Fighting style
'Baby Shark' looks to close distance, mix strikes with leg entries and use throws to take the fight to the ground. Her relatively small size for the division forces her to rely on speed, technique and a high rate of attacks.
Recent form
Wins over Tecia Pennington, Angela Hill and Amanda Ribas brought her close to the top at 115 pounds. Losses to Virna Jandiroba and Fatima Kline then halted that rise, leaving her once again needing to rebuild her path.
