Here's the fight video of Yan Xiaonan vs Tabatha Ricci from yesterday's UFC show in Macau, China. This fight is at Strawweight. This is the co-main event. Yan is 35 years old from Shenyang, China. She trains at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento with Urijah Faber and Danny Castillo. Her UFC record is 8-3. Her last fight was a title match loss to Zhang Weili. She's a good but not great fighter. Her striking is good but she doesn't hit hard enough and rarely finishes fights. Tabatha is 29 years old from Sao Paulo, Brazil. She trains at Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Santa Barbara, CA. Her UFC record is 6-2. This is her biggest fight to date. If she wins, she gets into the title picture. I just don't think she's good enough. So the short version is that Yan won the fight easily 30-27. It's about what I expected. I don't know if Tabatha landed even one punch in this fight. It's like she was sleepwalking. I never understood why the UFC gave her the fight in the first place. I presume other ranked fighters didn't want to go to China. Afterwards, Yan called out Zhang Weili for a rematch. Zhang was in attendance. But we already know that Virna Jandiroba is getting the next title shot. She was in attendance too. Enjoy the video!
