Tabatha
Ricci will square off against Tecia
Torres at an
Ultimate Fighting Championship event on May 11.
Ricci initially announced the strawweight bout on „Remember the Show,“ and it was later confirmed by
Torres on social media. The UFC
Fight Night card doesn’t have an official location or main
event at this time, though it will reportedly take place in St.
Louis.
Ricci had a four-bout winning streak snapped in her most recent
appearance, when she suffered a split-decision defeat to Lupita
Godinez at UFC 295 this past November. Prior to that, “Baby
Shark” had earned successive triumphs over the likes of Maria
Oliveira, Polyana
Viana, Jessica
Penne and Gillian
Robertson.
Torres, meanwhile, will be returning to action for the first time
since giving birth last June. In her last outing, “The Tiny
Tornado” suffered a split-decision defeat against Mackenzie
Dern at UFC 273 on April 9, 2022.
