Here's the fight video of Loopy Godinez vs Tabatha Ricci from last night's UFC show in New York City. This fight is at Strawweight. Loopy is 30 years old from Mexico. She was training in Canada but she is now back in Mexico at Lobo. So she is a teammate of Flyweight champ Alexa Grasso. Her UFC record is 6-3 and she is on a three fight winning streak. The UFC likes her because she will fight whenever she is asked. Tabatha is 28 years old from Sao Paulo, Brazil. She trains at Paragon BJJ in Santa Barbara, CA. Her UFC record is 4-1 and she's on a four fight winning streak. This fight was close but it didn't make me think that either fighter can be a contender. Round one could have gone either way but I scored it 10-9 for Tabatha. I scored the other two rounds 10-9 for Loopy. So I scored it 29-28 for Loopy. Two of the judges scored it the same. And the third judge inexplicably scored the fight 30-27 for Tabatha. So Loopy won by split decision. It doesn't make me think that she can be anything more than a midcard fighter. She needs to do something to stand out from the crowd. A close win like this is not enough. On the broadcast they made a big deal about Loopy fighting four times this year. It doesn't mean she's getting anywhere. She needs to fight better competition. Then if she wins, she will have accomplished something. Enjoy the video!
