Tabatha Ricci will make her third walk to the octagon, but just her second time at her natural weight class of strawweight. Her debut was a short notice one, up a weight class against absolute killer Manon Fiorot. Ricci was never going to win that fight, as she is a smaller strawweight at just 5’1” tall. What that fight did do was get her foot in the door in the UFC. She followed that up with an impressive decision win in her strawweight debut, where her black belts in judo and BJJ were on display.
This fight will play out on the mat, but of course, all fights start on the feet. Ricci will be the pressuring fighter, looking to box and ultimately get the fight down to the mat. Viana will sit back and look to land bigger strikes, but she will ultimately see her takedown defense fail per usual. She is a fighter far too comfortable trying to play the BJJ game off of her back, and will have met her match in that realm in this fight.
How The Fight Plays Out
Ricci will have little trouble securing takedowns and will be wildly unlikely to face any real submission threat. While both fighters are BJJ black belts, the Ricci game is a level or multiple levels above that of Viana. Ricci will do the better work on top and Viana will be content to be stuck on her back. Depending how aggressive Ricci is willing to be on the mat, the fight may not be full of fireworks, but it sets up extremely well for Ricci to take rounds and ultimately the fight. Take Ricci on the very favorable +130 flat line.
