Here's the fight video of Tabatha Ricci vs Maria Oliveira from yesterday's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Both fighters are Brazilian. Tabatha trains at Platinum BJJ in Santa Barbara, CA. In her first UFC fight, she lost to Manon Fiorot. But that was at Flyweight and this was at Strawweight. And I think she's a little small for Strawweight. This is Maria's UFC debut. But she lost to Karina Rodriguez in the Brazilian Contenders Series in 2018. It shows why Gaillard Parana moved PRVT to Los Vegas. If they were still in Brazil, Maria would never make it to the UFC because she isn't good enough. Moving to Vegas gets her into the UFC. Maria is a lot bigger than Tabatha. But Tabatha is a lot quicker and more effective. Tabatha won easily but I would have liked to see her go for a finish. I can see her having problems with the better Strawweights. She probably should be an Atomweight. Enjoy the video!
