Brazilian Strawweight Set To Clash With Amanda Ribas Saturday At UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs de Ridder
Fictional movies that depict sharks terrorizing humans usually find the shark relying on the “sneak attack” hunting style. Unsuspecting victims are minding their business on the open seas and then “gotcha!”
In a manner of speaking, Tabatha Ricci’s march towards a UFC title shot is unfolding in a similar stealthy fashion. While attention is focused on higher-profile names, “Baby Shark” has quietly been amassing an undeniable résumé of names as she slides up the strawweight rankings. A winner in six of her last eight, she’s turned back formidable names like Jessica Penne, Angela Hill, Gillian Robertson and Tecia Pennington on her way to the top ten.
