UFC star Tabatha Ricci has already made her mark inside the UFC octagon. The 28-year-old Brazilian has been part of the UFC since 2021 and has so far two wins in the promotion.

After making her professional MMA debut back in 2013 at Fight Masters Combat in Brazil, Tabatha went on to build a five-fight winning streak which lasted till her UFC debut. She had interestingly taken a six-year gap as well in between 2014 and 2020.

The gap apparently came after Ricci moved to Japan to learn different types of combat sports.

After returning from Japan, she found her footing in LFA where she secured their back-to-back wins and this eventually caught the eye of the UFC.

The promotion signed Ricci in 2021 and pitted her up against former IMMAF World Champion Manon Fiorot. Although the debut did not go as planned for Ricci, she made a memorable return in the next fight when she outclassed Maria Oliveira to get a decision win.
